We've tried fresh peas before, but even after hours of simmering they would NOT soften up. So this year I spotted some frozen ones and tossed them in the cart. They worked out beautifully!
Black Eyed Peas
Bacon, chopped into small pieces
Chopped onion
Frozen Black Eyed Peas
1 bay leaf
water
salt and pepper
Heat the bacon and onion in a pot until the bacon is cooked and the onion is browned and softened. This is the best step. It smells wonderful.
Add in the frozen peas, a bay leaf, and enough water to cover peas + about 1/2 inch.
Bring to a boil, then simmer for 40-45 minutes, or whatever the package directions say. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve with GF cornbread with lots of butter.
Cheers, and Happy New Year!
