Black-eyed peas.
Don't be late to the store to prick them up.
Our stores run out all the time due to the holiday.
Here in the good old south and southwest we eat them on New Years for good luck.
I like to soak mine for 24 hours before I cook them and they are nice and firm, cooked and not mushy.
I dont care what the bag says about no need to soak.
Will be adding my homemade tasso like ham product to them this year.
Put it in first and cook it then add the peas.
Or you can pre-cook it and put it in with the water later on.
Don't add any cold water to the peas, if needed always add hot water so the things dont shed their skins.

You can't argue with a closed mind.
You might as well be arguing with a cat.

Re: Black-eyed peas.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE some good ole black-eye peas, but since getting an electric pressure cooker, we no longer have to soak the peas. We save the ham bone from our Christmas ham and just throw it all in the pressure cooker with 6 cups of water and set it for 15 minutes and use a natural pressure release (NPR)...don't forget the cornbread.

Re: Black-eyed peas.
They had plenty of them today at the store and even extra shelves of them.
Come Tuesday they will be out and I got another one pound bag because I'm greedy.
Also lots of fresh cabbage and I got two big heads of it too.
Picked up some sweet taters for candied yams old school southern style with the disgusting marshmallows on top which I dearly love but my late wife hated.
Oh yes it is a given cornbread >>>>WILL<<<< be on the menu.
With homemade cracklings, 'Lord knows I have enough.

Re: Black-eyed peas.
You all are going to laugh at me.
I went to AZ to visit a friend for New Years who became a quadriplegic after a diving accident. He was southern, I am not. He wanted black eyed peas. I had never even heard of them and he wanted me to make them for him. He gave me a list and off I went to the store. Anything for him. I soaked and boiled these things. Added the smoked sausage, onion and ham, some spices. I cooked as ordered which was a first for me. I made him happy. He liked it.
I made them one more time. A year after that when he passed. I made them for him, I did not really like it. Lol.
I try for my friends.
