A simple and spicy saute of black eyed peas and greens is stuffed into biscuit dough to make these delicious and portable Black eyed peas and greens stuffed buns!

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • 2 cups frozen spinach or frozen collard greens
  • 1 cup frozen black eyed peas
  • 1 tsp coriander powder
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tbsp chopped cilantro
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 biscuits I used Pillsbury Grands Flaky Biscuits
  • 1 egg
  • Sesame seeds optional

Instructions

  • Chop onion and garlic and, if grate ginger.
  • Add oil to a large frying pan over medium heat and also add in the chopped onions.
  • Saute onions about 10 minutes until translucent and then add in the ginger and garlic and turn heat up on stove.
  • Also add in the frozen black eyed peas and frozen spinach as well as the coriander, cumin, and chili powder, and saute about 5 to 7 minutes, stirring often, until black eyed peas and spinach are not cold.
  • Add in the tomato paste and saute until well incorporated.
  • Take off heat and season with salt and pepper to taste (a couple of dashes were enough for us) and set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Break and beat the egg to use as an egg wash and sealer.
  • Break the biscuit canister and separate each biscuit.
  • Lightly flour a surface as well as a rolling pin, then lay each biscuit on the floured surface and roll it out a bit with the rolling pin.
  • Add a tablespoon or two of black eyed peas and greens stuffing into the rolled out dough.Then, brush egg around the diameter of the biscuit., then pinch four sides of biscuit together and crimp in the leftover pieces so a bun is formed.
  • Place buns (pinched side down) on a parchment lined or silpat lined baking tray. Brush each of the buns generously with the egg wash, sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
  • Bake the stuffed buns at 350 degrees for 17-20 minutes. Enjoy warm as is or with this Chili Honey Sauce.
