A few months ago, when I was hosting one of the Events for the World food Programme - Time to be Thankful, Lisa, of Lisa’s Vegetarian Kitchen, participated with a lovely recipe of Black-eyed pea Patties. I bookmarked the recipe and decided to give it a try some weeks ago, adding a few ingredients of my own, as a side dish with the Spiced Rubbed Salmon I posted a few days ago and with some Taco Sauce.
I am trying to add more legumes to our nutrition as these patties are very healthy, packed with vitamins and so delicious I will be making them regularly from now on.
This recipe goes to The Well Seasoned Cook’s Eighth Helping of “My Legume Love Affair”.
Black-eyed Pea Patties
Preparation time: 20 minutes
Cooking time: 1 hour and thirty minutes
Makes: 8 big patties
Ingredients
- 250 grams of dried black-eyed peas
- 1 small red onion
- 3 spring onions
- 1 clove of garlic
- ½ red bell pepper
- ½ green bell pepper
- 1⁄4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon of ground cumin
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 large egg (optional)
- 2 teaspoons fine semolina
- 1 cup of flour
- 5 tablespoons of olive oil
Directions
Add black eyed peas in a sauce pan with enough water to cover them and bring to a boil and simmer for 15 minutes. Drain and add fresh water. Bring to a boil and simmer until they are soft, about 45 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In a food processor, combine, onions, garlic, parsley, red and green peppers and mince.
Mash the black-eyed peas and add the minced ingredients, as well as the egg, semolina, and spices and mix well.
Form into patties and dredge with flour.
Heat olive oil in a sautéing pan and sauté until golden brown on both sides.
Serve with Tacos Sauce.
I am also sending this recipe over to Ruth, of Bookmarked Recipes.

Like the black bean burgers I recently posted about these look like a delicious and healthy alternative. And, not necessarily ‘alternative’…it’s good enough for first choice!

These look really scrummy, Ivy! I love bean burgers.
Thanks so much for sharing them for MLLA8!

These look great, Ivy. I love beans! I haven’t eaten black-eyed peas as much as other types, but I should remember to buy them more often!

A belated happy valentine’s day, Ivy! Those patties really do look good. We’re trying to eat less meat so these are a welcome idea. I wonder if they’d work with other dried beans?

Thanks for your lovely comments.
Dee, certainly with chickpeas and why not with other beans as well.

And thanks again!

Any kind of bean patty and I am there! These look so golden and delicious Ivy.

oh ivy–i love your practically perfect pea patties!
i’m a legume lover (and apparently a big fan of alliteration), and these would be a choice meal for me. 
February 17th, 2009 at 10:09 pm
I’m delighted that you had a chance to try this recipe Ivy. Looks like they turned out perfectly for you.
February 18th, 2009 at 11:10 pm
Delicious, healthy and quite satisfying too!

I LOVE black eyed peas! These patties look so tempting.
February 19th, 2009 at 3:26 pm
Ivy, you’ve got a great dish for Lent…the keftedes look fab!
February 19th, 2009 at 3:31 pm
I’m trying to eat more legumes too! By “trying”, I mean, at least one recipe (since I haven’t done it yet) I’m starring this one.
February 19th, 2009 at 11:22 pm
Ivy those patties looks so yummy and healthy!

These remind me of a Nigerian Black Eye pea patty that my sister in law makes, but a tad healthier. I’ll have to try these, as I love the others.
February 24th, 2009 at 3:37 am
Ivy, I made these tonight and served them with tzatziki and they were quite good!

Protein rich and absolutely tasty. We call patties cutlets here, though I don’t know why!
