How to Make Purple Hull Peas:

Rinse frozen purple hull peas and sort.

Place peas in a Dutch oven or stock pot and add 6 cups water. Season with salt and pepper.
Cook over medium-high heat, bringing to a boil. Boil for 10 minutes, lower to simmer. Cover and cook for 35 minutes or until peas are tender.

In a skillet, add olive oil, diced onions and celery. Cook, stirring often until onions start to brown. Set aside.

Drain peas and place back in pan with chicken broth and cooked vegetables. Place over medium heat.

Top with sliced Boudin or Andouille sausage. Cover and cook 10 minutes or until sausage is heated through.

Sprinkle with red pepper flakes if desired and fresh parsley.

Serve with Skillet Cornbread and hot sauce if you like a spicy kick.

Frozen purple hull peas are great to keep on hand for winter months when fresh are not available. If you have fresh peas, the same recipe will work. You might need to add 10-15 minutes to cooking time.

Recipe Variations:

Black eyed peas or crowder peas are also great options for this recipe.

Try andouille sausage, smoked kielbasa, crispy bacon or a ham hock for the meat.
