• Saute about 2 minutes, then add onion and corn.
• Reduce heat to medium, sauté until onions are very translucent and corn is thawed.
• Place in bowl with peas, mash with immersion blender and mash, it is OK if some peas and other items remain whole.

BLACK-EYED PEA SKILLET

Steps:

• 1. In a large skillet, cook ground beef, onion and bell pepper until beef is brown and vegetables are tender. Drain off excess fat. For vegetarians, omit ground beef and replace with vegetarian beef crumbles, or omit altogether and serve over rice for complete protein.
• 2. Drain the blackeye peas if they have a lot of liquid. Usually Bushs brand are thick so I don't drain. Do not drain tomatoes.
• 3. Add black-eyed peas, tomatoes and their liquid, salt and pepper. Mix well.
• 4. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

BLACK-EYED PEA BURGERS WITH CREAMY BARBECUE SAUCE AND CHOWCHOW

Steps:

• Patties
• Cook amaranth, according to package directions. Spread out on a rimmed baking sheet and let cool.
• Combine scallions, mushrooms, chile, black-eyed peas, parsley, tamari, flaxseed meal, miso, and ½ tsp. salt in a food processor. Sprinkle 1-2 Tbsp. cooled amaranth over mixture and pulse until just combined. Repeat process until all of amaranth has been incorporated. Taste and season purée with pepper and more salt if needed. Scoop onto a parchment-lined baking sheet to make 6 portions (a cookie scoop works great if you've got one) and form into patties that match the size of your buns. Freeze 30 minutes.
• Sauce and assembly
• While the patties are chilling, make the sauce. Whisk barbecue sauce, mayonnaise, chili-garlic sauce, mustard, lemon juice, and vinegar in a small bowl to combine. Sauce should taste spicy, tart, and sweet.
• Heat a large skillet, preferably cast-iron, over medium-low. Pour in oil just to thinly coat bottom of pan. Working in 3 batches to avoid crowding, cook patties, adjusting heat and adding more oil as needed, until browned (a crisp crust should form), about 5 minutes per side. (You can keep patties warm on a fresh parchment-lined baking sheet in a 250° oven if needed.)
• Build burgers with patties, buns, sauce, and chowchow.
• Do ahead: Sauce can be made 1 month ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before serving.

BLACK EYED PEAS WITH HAMBURGER (PINQUITO STYLE)

Steps:

• Set cooked black eyed peas in their cooking liquid aside.
• Sautee Beef, Bell Pepper, Onion, and Celery until veggis are crisp-tender.
• ***Note, I prefer my veggis very well done and very tender, so I start the veggis and add the beef when they are about half-way done.
• Add remaining ingredients and simmer for about 15 minutes. Adjust the salt and pepper to your taste.
• *****Note: Your cooked Black Eyed Peas should have about 1-2 Cups of the cooking liquid left. Add more Beef Broth or Water if desired.
