4 (15 1/2-ounce) cans black-eyed peas, rinsed and drained (about 6 1/2 cups)
3 red bell peppers, finely chopped
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 large garlic cloves, minced
1 1/4 cups fresh bread crumbs

Steps:

  • Mash half of peas in a bowl with a fork and stir in remaining peas.

  • Stir remaining pepper mixture into peas with bread crumbs, cilantro, eggs, cumin, and salt. Scoop 1 tablespoon mixture into palm of your hand (mixture will be soft and moist) and form into a roughly 1-inch-wide patty. Put it on a tray and form more patties in same manner, arranging in 1 layer on tray. Dip patties, 1 at a time, into cornmeal, turning gently to coat, and transfer as coated to a tray lined with wax paper and dusted with cornmeal. Chill patties, covered, at least 2 hours and up to 8.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F.

Put cakes as cooked in 1 layer in a large shallow baking pan. Between batches, carefully wipe skillet clean with paper towels and add more oil.
  • Stir mayonnaise into reserved red pepper mixture and season with salt and pepper. Reheat cakes in middle of oven until hot, about 5 minutes, and top with red pepper mayo and jerk pork.
