Name: Hoppin' Jane Recipe
Yield: 3-4 servings
Ingredients: 1 15.5 oz can black-eyed peas, drained and rinsed (we like Goya); 1 large onion, diced; 1 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes (we like Muir Glen Organic Fire-Roasted); 1 package frozen chopped okra; 1 package pre-cooked andouille sausage (usually 4 or 5 sausages) cut into bite-sized pieces; 1 tbl. oil or butter (to grease the pan); Optional: salt, pepper, garlic salt, chili power (to taste)

Why it works: Black-eyed pea and okra share more aroma than cooks usually use. They rank in the top 4% of all ingredient pairs, and 4 recipes mention both. Both carry coumarin, which smells sweet, hay. The science ↓
