ingredients

1 (2 lb) bag dried black-eyed peas
1 medium yellow onion, diced
¹⁄₂ green bell pepper, small diced
3 quarts chicken stock
2 fresh garlic cloves
1 bay leaf
15 ¹⁄₂ ounces diced tomatoes with juice

2 cups Italian sausage, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 cup fresh green beans, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1 bunch fresh green onion, small diced
3 tablespoons blackening seasoning

directions

First pour the dry peas onto a cookie sheet and sort through for any foreign objects or tiny pebbles. Thoroughly rinse the peas under cool water for several minutes in a strainer.
Heat a large stockpot on high. Add the diced bacon and sausage and let cook until brown and the fat has released. Add the onions, green pepper, garlic and green beans, sauté for 3-4 minutes until tender. Add the bay leaf and ½ of the blackening seasoning and stir, allowing the seasoning to form on the vegetables and the bottom of the pot. Add chicken stock and peas and bring to a simmer be careful not to boil. Simmer at a gentle pace until tender, approximately 1 to 1 ½ hours. Add additional stock if there is little liquid left. When they have reached the desired doneness add the tomatoes, remaining seasoning, green onions, and the additional salt and pepper as desired. Serve over hot steamed rice.

I love to cook, i learned a lot from my mother. I never saw her use a regular measuring cup. Everthing was some of this or a little of that. After she passed away it took me several tries to get her reciepe for chicken and dumplings. Hers were the best I have ever had even to this day mine are close but hers are stil the best. My dream would be to open my own diner and cook all day long. I have a reciepe for a very hot hot sause I plan to add to this site. A warning it is not for the meek and timed. It took me several batches to get it where I want it. I grew up in a real small town in Michigan and moved to Texas in 1978. Moved here for the heat...Love it hot. I also have developed a super hot wing reciepe, againg not for the meek. Currently I am a furniture salesman for Knight Furniture in Sherman Texas, The company has been in business since 1912. I currently make the birtthday cakes each month for our little birthday club. I love seeing people enjoy my cakes anmd other dishes.
