Receta Black-Eyed Pea Okra Etouffee
I served 1 cup of etouffee with a grilled cheese sandwich
This recipe is fantastic. I love black-eyed peas so I knew I was going to love this recipe but to be honest with you I didn’t think anyone else in my house would love it as much, but I was wrong.
The entire family loved it and as a matter of fact everyone started brain storming ideas on how we could change this recipe up to have different variations of the same recipe. I think everyone came up with some great idea!
I love the simplicity of this recipe topped with the fantastic flavor. It’s easy and quick and better yet delicious, meatless (vegetarian if you use vegetable broth) and it’s inexpensive and hearty! This recipe will make 10 cups!
