Anybody know a Purple Hull Peas Recipe?

[Cantcatch5]

I like to put a few jalapeños in as well as bacon, salt and black pepper.

And done... nice and thick. Ought to go good with the smothered blackbuck cutlets w/rice.

I add bacon, onions, garlic, pepper, and a can of rotel to mine. I really like them with rotel. Makes them so much better in my opinion.

Cut up (or don't) a pound of thick slicked bacon, whatever flavor you like, and fry it up in a cast iron skillet with some onion and garlic. While it's frying up, get your peas in the pot, (rinse first) with hot water, salt, pepper, garlic powder and maybe a little Tony's (or Ragin' Blaze prolly work too, I never tried it). Start the pot on medium heat. Once the bacon is fried up to a medium well (lots of grease in the skillet, but bacon still half way floppy), dump the contents of said skillet into the pot of peas, grease and all. Bring peas to a hard boil, then reduce heat to a low simmer. Simmer until peas are tender, add more seasonings to taste as you cook. Be sure to keep plenty of water in the pot, as it will boil down, and if you get too low, the peas will scorch and ruin the whole batch. I like to cook JUST until they are tender, some people like to keep going until some of the peas burst, or they'll mash some of the peas against the inside of the pot, which makes the juice into a thicker sauce, but I like a more clear juice. Personal preference.

Winner here, except the only powdered seasoning I use is black pepper. The bacon provides enough salt for my taste.

Try adding a couple halves of green bell pepper in with the peas while cooking. Discard after they cook. Gives them a nice little taste. Some cole slaw and cornbread and a fresh sliced tomato...can't beat it for a good dinner!

Keep it simple...salt pepper bacon or salt pork is all you need. Maybe a little flour/water mixture to thickin up a bit.
