I had a few black eyed peas at home so I’ve decided to cook them today. Unfortunately I was too distracted and were way too salty. In our house we don’t waste anything, so I needed to find a way to make them edible ๐คช
Then, like always, my husband is the one full of ideas, actually he is the master chef in our kitchen and I’m the sous chef ๐ฉโ๐ณย he’s for the food, I’m for the baking ๐ย came with the idea to make chili con carne and use my too salty black eyed peas.
In a saucepan, I’ve put finely chopped onions and carrots with extravirgin olive oil and I’ve cooked them for around 3-4 minutes. I have added minced beef, tomatoes sauce, NO salt obviously ๐ย ๐ย a little bit ofย pepper, paprika and chili flakes and I let it simmer for around 20-30 minutes. Once ready I’ve added the cooked black eyed peas.
Our chili con carne was ready. And of course everything goes well with a Corona, “La Cerveza Mas Fina”. What a great dinner we had ๐ย and the most important nothing was wasted ๐


Great idea Ribana. My husband always either gets things too salty or not enough. Heโs the chief cook nowadays since I canโt do anything. I LOVE chilli con carne!
Luckily they cook for us ๐A delicious meal ๐ Thank you Lorraine! Wish you a wonderful Saturday ๐ท
