Food, Wine & Just Good Living With SaucyJoe

It started with a love of food, wine & fun and blossomed into a maddening pursuit of the best recipes, techniques, grills, smokers, wines, crafted beers, rubs, marinades and sauces... We do more than play with our meat though -- we review and discuss all things cooking, drinking, reading, laughing and living at SaucyJoe's.

Fried Black Eyed Peas

This snack has been quite a hit at the office. A savory and sweet crunchy snack recipe from the lovely Linda Sullivan!

Fried Black Eyed Peas

Ingredients

8 oz Dried Black Eyed Peas
¼ Cup Dark Brown Sugar
2 Tbsp Coarse Salt
¼ tsp Smoked Spanish Paprika
1 Tbsp Cayenne Pepper (optional)

8 cups Vegetable Oil

Directions

Soak the black eyed peas in a bowl of cold water for a minimum of 3 hours.

Drain and pat dry.

Combine the dry ingredients and whisk together. Set aside.

Heat the vegetable oil in a large, heavy pot over medium heat to 375° F (reading on a deep fry thermometer).

Working in batches, fry the black eyed peas until golden brown.

Transfer to and drain on paper towels.

Toss black eyed peas and the dry ingredients together to coat the peas.

Store in a covered plastic container (It won’t be needed long!).
