Black-Eyed Pea Patties deliver a smoky bacon note with tender, mashed peas bound into crisp-edged cakes. Roasted red peppers and shallots add sweetness and mild bite, while a quick pan-fry yields a golden crust and soft interior. Serve hot as a dinner main or hearty side alongside greens, cornbread, or a tangy dipping sauce.

1

Cook the bacon in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
2

Mash the black-eyed peas in a bowl with a fork. Crumble the bacon into the bowl, then stir in the red peppers and the shallot. Mix in enough flour for the mixture to hold together. Season with salt and pepper, then shape into four equal patties.
3

Heat the butter and oil in a large skillet over medium heat until the butter melts. Add the patties and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 4 minutes per side.
