Guest guest Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 For really quick meals, we make Tor-pea-does. Take fresh warm CORN tortillas and fill with black eyed peas and sprinkle with cheese. You can add salsa, sour cream, and fresh or pickled jalapenos to your torpeadoes too. Sometimes we will heat up a can of hominy and add that too. Simple and really tasty.

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 Yum. We love black eyed peas here. My plain jane version is simple. Go by the directions on the bag (rinse, look for rocks, sand, alien creatures), put on to boil then simmer, having the water about 2 " above the peas. I add 2 stalks of celery, well minced, 2 cloves of garlic (more or less as you like), well minced, 1/2 sweet red pepper, well minced, 1 large onion, diced and 2 packages Goya ham seasoning (there isn't any meat in it, but a tiny bit of MSG - I'm sensitive to MSG but I'd have to eat the entire pot to have problems with this amount.) Bring to boil, turn down to simmer. Put lid on pot. Depending on how old the dried peas are, it could be ready in a couple of hours. We like them with cornbread or some rice. If you have any leftover, add some cooked green beans. Sometimes I use them in tacos. If my gut isn't bleeding, sometimes I'll throw in a small can of chopped jalapeno peppers. I toss the peas (cooked) in vegetable soups, too. They really shine when paired with cooked collard greens (or mustard greens, turnip greens, green jeans...whatevers). I recall adding a peeled, diced sweet potato before and it was really good. Beans and peas are such lovely little protein packages and cheap too. Cheap good. Beans good. I have GOT to stop reading the feral veg list when I'm hungry. Off to feed the gut, ttfn. Jeanne in GA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
