Best Black Eyed Peas For Those Who Usually Dont Like Them Recipes
RACHEL'S VEGAN CILANTRO LIME BLACK-EYED PEAS
Black-eyed peas are a veggie/bean I don't use too much in my cooking and I'd like to use them more. Most recipes I've seen using them call for baking or frying up with ham or pork. This is simple, vegan, and has lots of flavor. Make sure that you are using dry black-eyed peas-- not canned. Better yet, you don't have to pre-soak these like you normally have to with dried beans. Variation hint: if you don't care much for the cilantro lime part, just nix them, add 1 tsp lemon juice instead. I also think this recipe would do great in a slow cooker like a Crockpot.

Steps:
- In a small saucepan or frying pan, heat up the olive oil. Saute the onion and garlic until nice and brown.
- Wash the black-eyed peas and remove any stones, dirt, etc. Put them into a Dutch oven (although being ghetto, I use my hand-me-down lobster pot and it works just fine. Any large pot will do.).
- Add the browned onion, plus all the other ingredients listed. Mix well. Bring it to a boil.
- Lower the temperature to medium/medium-high. Cover the Dutch Oven or pot and let it all simmer for about 70-90 minutes or until the peas are nice and tender.
- Awesome side dish, or great when served over brown rice with some greens for a complete vegan meal!

I have been making these Southern black-eyed peas for years and years, and they are always a big hit for family dinners! Don't skip the cumin, which is the "secret" ingredient.

BLACK EYED PEAS, FOR THOSE WHO USUALLY DON'T LIKE THEM,
Nobody in my family, except me, likes black eyed peas. I learned a easy way to dress them up from my grandfather many years ago. May sound a little strange until you try it, but this recipe is addicting! I have made them with low fat mayo, and they were good. I have never tried fat free mayo. This recipe works very well with field peas too. You could easily add to this basic recipe to make all kinds of black eyed pea dishes.
