15ouncesblack-eyed peascooked or canned, no salt added
1tbspolive oil (extra virgin)organic
1/4tspblack pepper
Instructions
Heat a large nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausage; sauté 4 minutes or until lightly browned, stirring occasionally. If using quinoa chorizo, add a little oil to keep it from sticking.
Add celery, tomato, bell pepper, and squash; sauté 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
Measure 1/4 C. (60 ml) water into a bowl and add the thyme, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and mustard. Whisk until smooth.
Add the sauce and the black-eyed peas to the pan, stirring to mix well. Simmer 5 minutes or until peas are thoroughly heated. Remove pea mixture from pan; keep warm until serving.
[If adding eggs, wipe pan with a paper towel. Return pan to medium heat. Add 1 T. olive oil to pan; swirl to coat. Crack eggs into pan; cook 4 minutes or until whites are set. Remove from heat.]
Place about 1 cup pea mixture onto each of 4 plates; top each serving with one egg if using. Sprinkle evenly with black pepper.
