Black-Eyed Pea Patties
Black-eyed pea patties made with bacon, shallots, and roasted red peppers are pan-fried until golden brown and crispy. This recipe calls for canned peas, but for more flavor, I sometimes use leftover peas that I cooked with ham hocks or smoked turkey from New Year's. Get creative with how you serve them; sometimes I top them with fried green tomatoes or leftover candied yams.
