For enhanced flavor, consider using leftover black-eyed peas cooked with smoked ham hocks or turkey. Adjust the amount of flour as needed to achieve the desired consistency for the patties. Serve these patties with a dollop of remoulade sauce, a side of collard greens, or a fried green tomato for a true Southern feast.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
10 mins
Render the Bacon: In a large, heavy-bottomed skillet, cook bacon lardons over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until crisp and golden brown. (Approximately 8-10 minutes). Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate, reserving the rendered bacon fat in the skillet.
02
Step
5 mins
Prepare the Pea Mixture: In a large bowl, coarsely mash the drained black-eyed peas with a fork, leaving some texture. Crumble the cooked bacon into the bowl, then stir in the chopped roasted red peppers and minced shallot. Gradually incorporate the flour, mixing until the mixture is cohesive and holds together without being too dry. Season generously with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
03
Step
3 mins
Form the Patties: Gently form the black-eyed pea mixture into four equal-sized patties, ensuring they are compact and well-shaped.
04
Step
2 mins
Pan-Fry the Patties: Heat the butter and cooking oil in the same skillet over medium heat until the butter is melted and the mixture shimmers. Carefully place the patties in the hot skillet, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Cook for approximately 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy, flipping gently to avoid breaking them apart.
05
Step
1 mins
Serve: Remove the patties from the skillet and place them on a clean paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Serve immediately while hot and crispy.

Aug 11, 2024A little dry, add some sort of sauce. Maybe a little bit of sour cream on top of it?
