Black-eyed pea cakes

By MIO Coalition January 2025

Ingredients

Directions

In a large bowl, mash black-eyed peas with a potato masher or the back of a large spoon. Add sausage, red peppers, jalapeno, cumin and egg. Mix until combined. Add flour, incorporating until firm enough to shape into cakes. Let sit in the refrigerator for about 1 hour to firm. Shape into round patties. Pat each cake into cornmeal, to give a light coating. Heat oil in in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the patties until crispy and brown on both sides. Serve with Suan’s scotch bonnet pepper jelly.
