BLACK-EYED PEAS

SERVES 6-8

This recipe can be made with dried or frozen peas, and I recently found a fresh variety which is great. Follow package directions for cooking times of fresh or dried peas.

INGREDIENTS

1 medium onion, finely chopped

1 tablespoon bacon grease, or use 1 tablespoon butter

2 packages (16-ounces each) frozen black-eyed peas

Salt and pepper to taste

3 tablespoons unsalted butter

Sauté onions in bacon grease over medium heat until soft. Add peas, about 1 cup water and salt to taste. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, cover and simmer until tender, about 30 minutes. Drain thoroughly; add butter, additonal salt if needed and pepper. Return to very low burner for about 5 minutes to melt and combine butter.
