Instructions
- Rinse and sort the black eyed peas in a colander, removing any stones or impurities. Drain.Add the peas to a pot and cover with 3 inches of water. Bring to a boil for 3 minutes. Remove from heat and let the peas soak for 1 hour.
- Drain the peas and rinse them in cold water. Return them to the pot and cover again with 3 inches of water along with 1 tsp of salt. Bring to a boil. Simmer the peas for 30-40 minutes till soft but not mushy.
- Drain in a colander; shake the colander to get rid of as much excess water as possible.Return the peas to the hot pot and let them dry out a bit while you prepare the other ingredients.
- Heat 1 tbsp olive or grapeseed oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped shallots and sauté for 3-4 minutes till they begin to turn golden. Add the chopped carrots and continue to sauté for 4-5 minutes till softened. Add the garlic and sauté for 1 more minute till fragrant. Add tomato paste to the skillet and stir, blending with the other ingredients, for 1-2 minutes longer. Remove from heat.
- Place the vegetables in a food processor along with the cooked, drained black eyed peas, flat leaf parsley, fresh dill, eggs, ¾ tsp salt, and spices. Note: if your food processor is on the small side, you may need to process the mixture in batches.
- Pulse for 30-45 seconds, scraping the sides of the processor periodically, to form a thick, crumbly paste similar to a roughly textured hummus. Don’t over-process!
- Pour the black eyed pea mixture into a large mixing bowl. Stir in the panko breadcrumbs with a fork.
- Form the mixture into compact patties using ½ cup of mixture per patty. If the patties aren’t holding together well, add more panko till they do.
- Pour olive or grapeseed oil into a nonstick skillet to cover the bottom of the skillet—in my very large skillet, I use about 1/3 cup of oil. Heat over medium till hot enough for frying.
- Fry the patties in batches of 3 for 3-4 minutes on each side, till both sides of the patties are golden brown and crisp.
- Serve hot burgers on warm toasted buns with lettuce, tomatoes, and your favorite hamburger fixings. I really like these topped with mayonnaise, avocado, and sliced dill pickles. A slice of cheese wouldn’t hurt, either, if you don’t mind adding dairy to the mix. Delish!
