White Acre Peas
Angie McGowan
White acre peas are smaller and more tender than black-eyed peas.
Ingredients
- 2 cups shelled or frozen white acre peas
- Water
- 1 tsp kosher salt, or to taste
- 1 Tbs grated sweet onion
- 2 Tbs butter
Directions
- Prepare peas by shelling and rinsing. If there are pods too small to shell, just snap them like snap beans and add to the peas.
- Put them in a saucepan with enough water to cover and add the grated onion and kosher salt.
- Bring to a boil and cook over medium-low heat for 20–30 minutes or until very tender.
- Add butter and melt before serving.
