Purple hull peas are a staple on every southern table. Most often slow cooked with a bit of meat fat, and served up with a huge slice of cornbread. Peas have so much more potential than a side dish and are a great component added to a dip or appetizer. The French are famous for their succotash, and I’m a huge fan. But for me, it’s just a fancier version of a dip. Cook up a summer style succotash dip popping with fresh herb and veggie flavor from peas. Serve warm alongside or atop a crispy crostini with a slice of fresh tomato and crumbled bacon. Maybe even a little spoonful of pepper jelly. Careful not to neglect any of your garden bounties. Those purple stained hands are well worth the sacrifice for such a delicious treat. Call it whatever you like succotash, dip, or just plain heaven!
