PURPLE HULL PEAS - HEART HEALTHY
Purple Hull Peas are a lot like black eyed peas. We buy ours fresh and already shelled from a roadside farm stand in East Texas. We keep them in a cooler for our four hour trip back home. I put them in the fridge and make this ASAP usually the next day. I got this recipe from purplehull.com. but I use half the sugar and half the salt that the original had. We love the healthier version and hope you will too.

CREOLE BLACK EYED PEAS
Not vegan, but vegetarian. From a blog called "Low Fat Vegan Kitchen" by Susan V. Jackson. Vegetable broth may be subbed for the 5 cups of water for a richer flavor. Prep time does not include overnight soaking for the peas.

Steps:
- Soak the peas overnight in cold water. Drain.
- Heat the oil in a heavy pot. Add onion, pepper, and celery, sweat over low heat until softened.
- Stir in garlic, continue stirring until garlic releases it's aroma.
- Add all remaining ingredients except liquid smoke to the pot, along with enough additional water to cover the peas by one inch. Cook until peas are completely tender, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours, adding more water as necessary. When they're tender, add the Liquid Smoke, cook for 5 more minutes, and serve over rice.
