Ingredients:
1 pound dried black eyed peas, soaked overnight |
1/2 stick (2 ounces) butter or margarine |
1 large onion, cut into big cubes |
1 large shallot, quartered |
3 to 4 cups water |
1/4 green bell pepper, cored, seeded and chopped |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
Directions:
1. Drain the peas, discarding the water, and set them aside. In a large skillet over medium heat, put the butter onion and shallot. When the butter is melted, increase the heat and add the peas. Mix with a wooden spoon, cover and cook about 8 minutes. Pour the contents of the skillet into a large pot, adding enough water to cover the peas. Bring to a boil, and add green bell pepper, salt and black pepper. Lower the heat to medium, and cook 50 to 60 minutes, or until peas are tender.
