Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 6 tablespoons Ice water
- 2 cups Cooked black-eyed peas
- 0.5 cup Onion (finely diced)
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 egg Egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon of water)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and sugar for the pie dough.
Add the cubed cold butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Do not overwork the dough.
Form the dough into two discs, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic, and sauté until fragrant and translucent, about 4-5 minutes.
Add the cooked black-eyed peas, cumin powder, cayenne pepper (if using), and chopped parsley to the skillet. Stir to combine and mash the peas slightly with the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and let the filling cool.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disc of dough to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Carefully transfer the dough to the dish and trim the edges.
Fill the pie crust with the cooled black-eyed pea mixture, spreading it evenly.
Roll out the second disc of dough and place it over the filling. Trim the edges and crimp to seal.
Brush the top crust with egg wash and cut a few small slits in the center to allow steam to escape.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
Let the Kris Bada Pie cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
