Yesterday, I was craving a dish with black eyed peas. I mentioned it to the BF when I was talking to him and he told me how much he loved them, although none of his other coworkers did. I believe I said, “they don’t know what they’re missing!”
With that conversation fresh on my mind, last evening, I pulled out my 8 qt. Presto cooker, added my dry black eyed peas with water. I stepped away for about twenty minutes and let the pressurized cooker work it’s magic.
I came back to fully cooked black eyed peas that gave off a slightly nutty aroma. Mmm… I made enough to use in several meal preparations. The cooked beans that I did not use immediately, were put into smaller glass storage containers and frozen.
And while I like the dish I created below, I sure would have loved if I could have added a bit more color. However, a quick check in my refrigerator, showed me that I was missing a lot of produce.
I have not been to the store (I’ll be going there today) and I did not feel like going to our garden to pick some greens to add to this dish; however, I will take care of that today. There is plenty of this left over and so tossing in a few extra ingredients won’t be an issue.
Today, I’ll be making black eyed pea burgers, with some of the plain peas.
Sounds great! And I LOVE the addition of the carrots, too!

Heard of the group, think I saw it before somewhere…but I don’t think we have black-eyed peas here.

@suituapui, My daughter and I were talking about the group earlier today. Oh, no black eyed peas? Ahh… they are so good. I’ll be making black eye pea burgers in a little while.

@Jennifer, I’ll definitely check it out this afternoon. I tried to listen to it last evening; however, was chatting with the BF and so I decided to wait until I could give it my undivided attention. I love your voice!
