Happy New Year to all you hip folk!

 

Blackeyed peas are on; cornbread's next.
Happy New Year from North Carolina.

 

I want your recipe please. X

 

16 oz bag of dried black-eyed peas, soaked overnight (canned beans & peas have far too much salt, and who-knows-what).
6 cups water. 1 Vidalia onion, diced small and caramelized, 1 package of ham bits, diced, and sauteed, Maybe a scant tablespoon sea salt.
Simmer covered for two hours, then boil uncovered for 30 minutes to boil down the 'pot liquor' into a black-eyed pea gravy.
Ladle over white rice. Pretty much like what I had as a child, with less fat and salt.
(I'm a 'cultural infidel'; I like sweet cornbread.)

 

That photo in the background sure matches your avatar Pio mate.

 

Grew my beard out like that during quarantine. Wife said she'd cut it off in my sleep. Decided I didn't want her creeping up on me with scissors in the dark.

Thank-you xxxx
