Ingredients
Scale
- 16 oz dried black-eyed peas (soaked overnight)
- 3–4 smoked turkey wings
- 1 onion (diced)
- 2 bell peppers (diced)
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 bulb roasted garlic
- 6 cups chicken stock
- 2 tbsp grapeseed oil
- 1 tsp Bayou City Garlic Pepper
- 1 tsp Bayou City All Purpose Seasoning
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cover the dried black-eyed peas with water and let them soak overnight.
- Rinse the soaked black-eyed peas under cold water and pick out any debris. Set aside.
- In a large pot, heat grapeseed oil over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onions, bell peppers, and minced garlic until softened.
- Add the roasted garlic and let it cook for about 1 minute.
- Toss in the smoked turkey wings and sauté briefly to infuse the flavors.
- Stir in the Bayou City seasonings, smoked paprika, dried thyme, and the rinsed black-eyed peas. Mix well to coat the peas in the flavorful seasonings.
- Pour in the chicken stock, ensuring it covers the peas and turkey wings. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and let it simmer for about 90 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove the cover and let it simmer for an additional 30 minutes or until the peas are tender. If you prefer a thicker consistency, mash some of the cooked peas against the side of the pot.
- Season with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper if desired. Adjust the flavors to your liking.
- Remove from heat and serve the black-eyed peas with smoked turkey wings hot, either on its own or over rice with cornbread.
