Black-Eyed Pea Patties image

This is a recipe my mom used to make growing up. This being a southern staple, the ingredients from recipe to recipe will vary. Experiment to perfection! Note: I highly recommend serving this with the wonderful Cucumber Salad (#51721)

Time 15m

Yield 6-8 Patties, 4-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 (15 ounce) cans black-eyed peas, drained
2 egg whites
3/4 cup cornbread stuffing mix (or cornbread)
1 onion, chopped
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon salt (to taste)

Steps:

  • Saute the chopped onion in a bit of oil until translucent, then remove.
  • In a large bowl, combine all ingredients (including the sauteed onion).
  • Mash mixture (I use a large fork) until about half of the peas are completely mashed.
  • Mold into patties about 2-3 inches across and 3/4 to 1 inch thick.
  • In a skillet, heat about 1/2 inch oil on med-high.
  • When the oil is hot, add patties.
  • Cook until a medium brown crust forms on bottom (2-3 minutes), then turn and repeat.
  • Remove to paper towel to absorb grease.
  • Drizzle Ranch Dressing and your favorite barbecue sauce over the tops and serve.
