Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Chop the bacon and Andouille sausage. Rinse the black-eyed peas if using canned.

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon and Sausage

    In a large skillet or pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook until crispy. Add the Andouille sausage and cook for another 5 minutes until browned.

  3. 3

    Sauté Aromatics

    Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Rice

    Stir in the Arborio rice, cooking for 1-2 minutes until the rice is slightly toasted.

  5. 5

    Add Broth Gradually

    Pour in the chicken broth, one cup at a time, stirring continuously. Allow the liquid to absorb before adding more. This should take about 20 minutes.

  6. 6

    Incorporate Black-Eyed Peas

    Once the rice is creamy and al dente, fold in the black-eyed peas. Cook for an additional 5 minutes.

  7. 7

    Finish the Risotto

    Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove from heat.

  8. 8

    Garnish and Serve

    Serve the risotto hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
