Black Eyed Peas Hash with Sauteed Corn, Peppers, and Scrambled Eggs




I am really excited about our dish today! This dish is inspired straight from my Texas foodie blog following friend, Miss Lady Alexander.

Miss Lady contacted me last week about a catered work event that included a dish that was so good that it must be made immediately.

 
Herein lies the issue, Miss Lady and I had no clue what the dish was called. Miss Lady gave me the ingredients and I still couldn't think of the name of this dish.


I faintly remembered eating something similar in Mexico made with pinto beans and elotes (Mexican corn). 


So here is where we're starting folks. The dish included black-eyed peas, corn, and peppers and served with scrambled eggs.

I decided to take those ingredients given to me by Miss Lady and create a Black-Eyed Peas Hash!

This is a 20 minute meal folks...with the help of Glory Foods Black-eyed Peas! 

If you would like to make your black eyed peas from scratch, check out my Slow Cooker Black Eyed Peas Recipe!

 
The results of this dish are beyond tasty!

You have the nice creamy, highly seasoned black eyed peas, with the sweet corn, all sauteed with peppers, garlic, and onion.

Then you take the cheesy eggs and this is pure food heaven!

Big Goo and Baby Girl sat at the table quietly eating, no one said a word...until the food was all gone...then they spoke and said that was the best brunch I've ever fixed them. 

Shocker, coming from Big Goo the meat eater, but he loved it!

I would like to personally thank Miss Lady for the inspiration, and I hope she enjoys recreating this recipe as I much as I did!

Greek pickled calamari (καλαμαρι τουρσι )

Image
I love making a range of Greek style pickles - called toursi (τουρσί) in Greek. They are especially great in summertime, when after a day spent at the beach you get that urge for a chilled ouzo and meze. It's so nice to know that you have little jars of toursi tucked away in the fridge or the pantry and the only effort required is opening the jar! The pickle recipe I am sharing today is for calamari toursi (καλαμάρι τουρσί). It makes for a great meze spread with a little feta dusted with riagni, some simple fava (a yellow split pea dip) topped with sweet red onion and capers - and a little fresh, crispy salad on the side, such as a purslane and marinated olives. Pop open the jar of calamari and in minutes you have some lovely mezethes to enjoy with a chilled ouzo in the garden on a warm, dusky summer evening. If you skip the feta you also have a Greek Orthodox fasting friendly meal for those few weeks before Christmas - or Easter. If you are interested in making other Greek style p...

Tastes of Cyprus – An Interview and a Recipe

Image
According to Greek Mythology, the island of Cyprus takes its name from the goddess Aphrodite, which makes the island her own special abode. I have never been to Cyprus, though I have heard of its natural beauty, and I do have a number of Cypriot friends. Toronto has a sizable Cypriot community, and over the years, I have had a chance to learn something about their ways and means. I have also had a chance to sample some of their foods. A table filled with Cypriot and Greek food specialties There are many similarities between the foods of Greece and Cyprus, but there are notable differences too. At the invitation of the Consul General of the Republic of Cyprus, Mr. Stavros Avgoustides, I had a chance to sample some specialties of that island nation. Last week, I had the pleasure of attending the annual cutting of the Vasilopita at the Cypriot Consulate in Toronto. It was a small, intimate affair which included family members of the consulate staff, the consul general and staff from...

Nafplio: a guide

Image
It is nearly impossible to describe in words just how much I love the Peloponnese. Nafplio is indeed one if its gems and among one of the most romantic towns in Greece. Geographically located on the eastern side of Peloponnese and only 2 hours drive from Athens, this is a popular weekend destination. The Old Town is a marvel to walk around with elegant neoclassical mansions and large squares, while on the hill above the Old Town is a fortress castle dating from the Venetian ages. There are some incredible beaches located nearby (even the town beach is excellent) and the Old Town is host to plenty of fabulous restaurants, tavernas, cafés, art galleries and museums. The twice weekly local farmers market is also a real delight and not to be missed. Getting there There are no airports near Nafpilo, but it is an easy 2 hour bus ride from Athens. There are regular buses from Athens to Nafplio every day. Buses from Athens depart from Kifissos KTEL Bus Station very frequently, about 4-5 times ...
