Refried Red Peas

Peas are far more abundant than beans in the South, so we put a Lowcountry spin on refried beans — perfect for Taco Tuesday.

Instructions

01
Put the red peas in a large bowl and submerge in water a few inches above the peas. Cover and soak overnight.
02
The next day, drain the peas.
03
Sauté the onion, garlic, and spices.
04
In a large pot, combine the sautéed onion mixture with the peas and broth.
05
Simmer for 1–2 hours, until the peas are fully cooked and tender.
06
Using a potato masher, mash the peas to your desired consistency.
07
Add salt and lime juice to taste and serve hot.
