I tried this recipe tonight, but added carrots and put everything in the food processor. They were delicious! My husband LOVED them and my 12 yr old, said they were pretty good.

They were a little wet because I didnt have 1 hour to wait for them to set. I will definitely make them again and allow time for them to set. I used ritz crackers instead of breadcrumbs (mixed in) and didn't do any dredging.

As a recent black-eyed pea convert I am always on the lookout for for new BEP recipes and this one looks like a doozy! I might omit the bacon for my vegetarian clientele…but that just means more hog for me :)

I LOVE black eyed peas! I could never understand why people recoil in horror on New Years, smashing a single pea between 2 crackers or hiding it in mashed potatoes.
I DEFINITELY have to try these. **Drool**

I make a similar black bean cake, and black eyed peas sound great for this! The sauce sounds delicious too, and I love the name of it.

What restaurant, what island? I lived in Hawaii for 12 years, and my husband was raised there. And I love black-eyed peas!

This recipe looks fabulous, and I certainly plan to give it a try. With school just about over, I'm ready to get into my summertime cooking mode – trying new recipes and eating as much fresh produce as possible. I can't believe you encountered a restaurant in Hawaii that served black-eyed peas – that certainly never happened the four years we lived there!

This looks great! I am not a native Southerner, so I really need help in the black eyed pea department. I've tried to make them on New Year's Day several times, and they have, um, not been good. We choked them down because we've never been people to kick a luck pea in the mouth, but I would love to really know how to cook them right. There is so much good stuff going on in this recipe that I know it can't fail me! I'm bookmarking.
