Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon  bacon drippings
  • 1/2 cup  finely chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup  finely chopped bacon or pancetta
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 dried chile de arbol
  • 8 ounces  dried black-eyed peas (about 1 cup)
  • 3 1/2 cups  chicken stock

  • 1 teaspoon  chili powder
  • 2 tablespoons  olive oil

Directions

1. In a medium-sized pan warm bacon fat over medium heat. Add onion and bacon. Cook about 10 minutes. Add garlic, chile pepper, and peas. Pour enough stock to cover. Increase heat; bring to boiling. Reduce heat to barely simmering. Cook 45 minutes to 1 hour, until peas are tender. Add salt, cumin, and chili powder. Cool in pan. Transfer to a clean container. Refrigerate 1 hour. If desired, remove and discard chile de arbol.

2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. For refried peas, in 8-inch cast iron skillet heat oil over medium-high. Mash peas with fork. Add to hot skillet. Reduce heat to medium; stir occasionally until hot. Top with cheese. Transfer skillet to oven. Bake 20 minutes. Sprinkle with cilantro, if desired. Serve warm. Makes 8 servings.
