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.

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

You laid this out very well...easy to read and understand...step by step! Thank

you. I will try - like the corn bread with it.
