Techniques
- 3 cup black eyed peas
- 1 wing roasted turkey
- 1 tbsp crayfish
- ¼ cup palm oil
Rinse two or three times until the water runs clear, without rubbing so hard the skins peel, then drain.
Optional: soak the beans 6 to 12 hours beforehand, which may help with heartburn or gas; not done here.
- 1 whole bell pepper
- 1 whole habanero pepper
- 1 whole onion
Put the beans in the pot with the bell pepper, habanero, onion and roasted turkey.
Peppers, onion and smoked turkey
- 6 cup water
Add six cups of water, cover and cook 45 minutes to an hour (an hour here), adding water if needed, until a bean mashes easily under a fork.
Cooking the beans
Take out the turkey, habanero, bell pepper and onion. Blend the peppers and onion without water.
Shred the turkey and return it with the blended peppers, the crayfish and the palm oil; mix.
- water
Thin with a little water to the consistency you like and simmer a minute or two, since the peppers are already cooked.
