Guest guest Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 I like to make a tostada with them. Use the rice on your shell, cover with black-eyes peas and then put your greens and garnish next. Fred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Leah, you are so right about black eyed peas and the new years day tradition! I have eaten black eyed peas on new year's day ever since I can remember...and when I got old enough to stay up late, they would be served at the parties to be eaten after midnight. And it's not just for financial success, it's for general good luck during the coming year! Who wants to take a chance with that by not eating them!!!??? LOL! I think I'm correct on this when I say that another name for black-eyed peas is " purple-hulled " peas. I've heard that a lot when people are growing them, and that always involves a lot of shelling to eat them fresh. Seems like the shells are never really tender enough to eat. Probably I should have googled it first--oh well! Paula Black-eyed Peas Posted by: " Leah K. Reynolds " leah_k_reynolds leah_k_reynolds Tue Aug 29, 2006 7:39 pm (PST) About Black -eyed Peas--- I do not think I have ever made a comment to this list ---- but...... just in case you did not know it --(maybe posted and I missed it)-- Black-Eyed Peas are a New Year's Day tradition in the southern US-- a must eat -- or have finical problems all year--- ;-) I do enjoy the list and am working on changing life style- to a much better healthy one -- it's a slow going process. I do not have time to read all the entries but read the ones I can when I have a chance. Thanks for all the goodies and information.

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 Does anyone have a good recipe for black-eyed pea soup? The only ones I can find have ham or bacon in them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only ones I > can find have ham or bacon in them. I make a really simple black-eyed pea soup with greens (I usually use spinach because it's easy to just buy a frozen bag of it and toss it in.) It tastes a LOT like the soup my grandmother used to make (hers had pig in it.) Smoky Black-eyed Peas with Greens Ingredients 1 large onion, chopped 1 16-oz pkg frozen black eyed peas or 8 oz dried black-eyed peas 1 16-oz pkg frozen mustard greens, collards or spinach (or equivalent fresh greens) 4 cups water (or bean cooking broth if you separately pre-cook the beans) 2 tsp hot pepper sauce salt and pepper to taste either 1 8-oz pkg baked, seasoned, smoked tofu, cubed OR 1 tsp liquid smoke In a soup pot, saute the onion until browned. Stir in peas, greens, tofu or liquid smoke, water, hot sauce, salt and pepper. Simmer a few minutes for pre-cooked beans and greens (can substitute 2 cans of black-eyed peas for convenience) or about 25 minutes for frozen peas. Adjust seasonings if desired. Serve immediately.
