Skillet Sausages with Black-Eyed Peas, Romano Beans, and TomatoesAndrea Chu

Fresh, in-shell black-eyed peas have a nutty flavor and cook quickly. You'll find them at farmers' markets in late summer. You can also buy shelled ones in the produce section of many supermarkets and from melissas.com. Flat green beans known as Romano (or Roma) beans are also found at farmers' markets. If you can't get them, string beans are a fine substitute.
