Ingredients
1 15oz can of blackeyed peas, divided (rinsed and drained)3 cloves fresh garlic, chopped1 cup cooked corn grits2-3 slices of red onion, finely chopped4 fresh egg whites, lightly beaten1/4 cup fat free chicken broth3/4 cup Panko Japanese bread crumbs1.5 tsp cumin powder1/2 tsp black pepper1/4 tsp sea salt1/2 tsp red pepper flakes1 Tbl spoon Olive or Canola oil, divided
Directions
Use 1/2 of the drained peas and the chopped garlic placing in a food processor. Blend until paste-like. (I add a little of the chicken broth as needed to blend.)

Put paste mix in a large mixing bowl. Add cooked grits, bread crumbs, onion, the remaining peas, eggs and seasonings blend with your hands or mixing spoon. Don't use beaters.

Pat out mixture into 6 equal patties. Place the patties on wax paper/parchment paper.

Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Once hot add 1/2 the oil and swirl to coat pan. Add three of the patties. Cook on each side about 3 1/2 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to a paper towel and repeat with the next three patties.
