cajun black-eyed pea stew with sausage
one afternoon my hubby and i were invited over a friends house for dinner. they had a TON of amazing food! we started with an appetizer, that was an amazing bean porridge over rice. my hubby and i licked our plates. i mean, not a bean in sight! i asked them for the recipe and they would not give it to me...and wouldn't budge! so i went home and was determined to recreate it in some kind of way. my creation has become one of our family favorites, especially my dad's! we love black-eyed peas, anyway we can get them. especially my blackeyed pea cakes with paprika lime cream sauce and smokey turkey black-eyed pea recipes. even if you do not like black-eyed peas, you HAVE to try this recipe. i hope to change your mind. 🙂
