Peas and Eggs is one of my all time Cajun favorites. They just go great
together and I've been eating Peas and Eggs for as long as I can
remember.
2 cans (15 oz.) Petit-Pois (small young sweet peas) Le Sueur is my
choice.
1/2 med. onion chopped fine
2" X 2" salt pork or 4 slices of bacon
4 raw eggs
6 green onions
pinch of black pepper and salt
Pinch of Creole seasoning
Use a 2 or 3 quart pot.
Sauté salt pork (or bacon) and onion for about 10 minutes on a med fire
(brown very lightly). Add peas and remainder of seasoning (except
Creole). Add water to just cover peas. Bring to a boil on high fire and
lower fire to med-low.
Crack
raw eggs into pot evenly as shown. Sprinkle Creole seasoning on each egg
lightly. Gently shake pot to settle eggs into peas. Cover and cook on
low for about ten minutes or until eggs are done. You want the eggs to
stay together like poached eggs.
Makes a nice Cajun side dish!
