A black-eyed pea loaf, made with cooked peas, curry powder, oats, cornmeal, and seasonings.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
  • 1 teaspoon curry powder
  • 2 cups cooked black-eyed peas, drained
  • 1/3 cup raw rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup yellow corn meal
  • 2 cups vegetable broth or chicken broth
  • salt
  • pepper

PREPARATION:

Preheat oven to 350°. Grease a 9-inch loaf pan.

In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-low heat and add the onion and chopped bell pepper; sauté until the onion is tender and golden, about 5 minutes. Add the curry powder and cook, stirring, for about 2 minutes longer. Add the black-eyed peas, rolled oats, cornmeal, and broth; stir well.

Turn the black-eyed pea mixture into the prepared loaf pan; bake for 45 minutes, or until the oats and cornmeal are cooked and have absorbed all the liquid. The consistency should be that of a very thick mush. Stir in salt and pepper to taste and press the mixture firmly in the pan.

Let the loaf cool; chill thoroughly in refrigerator. Turn loaf out of pan; cut into slices. Eat cold or fry in butter.
Serves 6.
