1/3 cup, chopped Pecans

2 15 ounce can Canned no salt added blackeye peas (drained and rinsed)

Instructions

Place a large non-stick skillet over high heat. Spray lightly with oil.

Add the pecans. After about 90 seconds they will begin to toast. Cook, tossing frequently, for about 2 - 3 minutes until they begin to brown.

Add the corn kernels and cook, tossing frequently, for about 5 - 8 minutes. If the corn browns too fast, reduce the heat to medium-high.

Place the cooked corn in a medium mixing bowl with the black eyed peas, shallot, red pepper, salt, pepper, cumin, olive oil and maple syrup.

Fold together well and chill for at least two hours before serving.

The cumin in these black eyes adds just the zing to complement the sweetness of the peas and roasted corn.
