  1. Wow-Wee! I do love andouille sausage. This really made our New Years! Nobody complained about choking down black-eyed peas this year, in fact, they went back for seconds. This is a huge recipe and if serving as a side will go a very long way! Thanks so much for sharing.
     
  2. Love this dish! This particular recipe makes a HUGE meal, so for a family of four you may want to cut the ingredients in half...or you may prefer to eat leftovers for a few days! MY CHANGES: We don't eat pork, so I used mild smoked turkey sausage rather than salt pork and andouille sausages, seven cups of chicken broth instead of only six and long-grain brown rice rather than white. I did not use any hot sauce but added 2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes with the peas, sausage and chicken broth (line #3). As it turns out, 2 tsp red pepper flakes was pretty spicy (for us), so I will reduce this to 1 tsp next time! I simmered the dish longer than noted by probably 20 or 30 minutes. I did not have to add any salt or pepper, and I topped the dish with the green onions and served with cornbread. Mmmmm-mmmm!
