New Years Black Eyed Peas With Sausage Food

BLACK EYED PEAS WITH SMOKED SAUSAGE

Steps:

• If using dried beans soak for 4 or more hours, drain and rinse.
• Slice sausage into rounds. Combine with black eyed peas, onion, garlic, and Cajun seasoning in the crock pot.
• Add water until beans and sausage are just covered. If using dried beans, add enough so that the beans and sausage are submerged by 1-2 inches of liquid. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Cook on low for 4-6 hours. I would suggest an additional 2 hours if using dried beans.

Steps:

• In a large pot, over medium heat, render the sausage for 5 minutes. Stir in the onions, salt, cayenne, garlic, bay leaves, thyme and parsley. Saute for 5 minutes, or until the onions are wilted. Stir in the chicken stock, peas and garlic. Bring the liquid up to a simmer and cook for 1 1/2 hours, or until the peas are tender. Spoon the peas and sausage in the center of a shallow bowl. Garnish with green onions. Serve with cornbread muffins.

Steps:

• Using a large soup pot heat up the pan on a medium heat.
• Add the sliced sausage and start browning, after about 5 minutes add the onions and stir and cook until they start to get lightly golden lifting any meat bit stuck to the bottom .
• Add sliced carrots, celery , garlic and saute a further 5-10 min until they start to soften.
• Add the broth and bring to a hard simmer and cook until carrots and celery are al dente , just barely tender. DO NOT BOIL HARD.
• Add tomatoes one at a time reserving any liquid and breaking them up as you add them. I only used 2/3 of my can and most of the juice you'll have to judge how much tomato you prefer. Cook 10-15 min gently then add the garlic powder, thyme, marjoram and the smoked paprika and the beans.
• Let the pot come to a hard simmer for cook another 20-30 minutes.
