This is another recipe I've cobbled together from an episode of Jamie Olivers new show Jamie at Home. I'm in love with this series. He's cooking some great simple food and I am coveting his garden and his outdoor oven. They are both stunning. This is old - I think I made this back in May but I just found the pictures and my recipe notes. I'm surprised I forgot about this one, we enjoyed it very much. I am not feeling too creative right now, so I've named this dish....
Sausage and Beans
250 g black eyed peas
soak the beans in lots of cold water overnight. The next day, drain and rinse the beans. Place in a large pot and cover with fresh water. Add to the pot:
1 whole head of garlic, top cut off
2 roma tomatos, cut in half
1 red or white skinned potato, cut in half
Simmer the beans, covered, until tender. 1 1/2 - 2 hours. Remove from heat.
Remove the tomatos, garlic and potato from the pot and set aside. Place about 1/3 of the beans and 1/2 cup of cooking liquid in a bowl and mash with a potato masher. Remove the skins from the tomato and potato and add the tomato and potato to the bowl. Squeeze the garlic pulp out of the skin and add that as well. Mash again, adding more cooking liquid if needed to smooth the mixture out. Season with salt and pepper and olive oil. Drain the remaining beans and stir in. Taste and season again if needed. (I didn't think of this until now, but if you had some fresh rosemary, that would be wonderful to add.)
Et voila! You have a big bowl of mouthwatering beans. Then we bbq'd up some turkey sausages and made a fancy plate:

Mmmmmmmm! Can't wait to see his show again. I've been watching more Food Network again lately; I'm enjoying it more than I was a year ago. I've been watching (OK this is going to make me sound like I do nothing but sit in front of the TV, but I swear I don't!) Ace of Cakes, Chef at Home, Food Jammers, anything with Jamie Oliver, anything with Nigella Lawson, Throwdown with Bobby Flay, Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares, Glutton for Punishment, and Barefoot Contessa. Mostly though, I've been MISSING Rob Feenie. Food Network, bring back my Feenie!
What about you? Do you watch Food Network? If so what programs are you watching? What don't you like? What shows aren't on any more that you miss?
