Here’s a recipe for black eyed peas that’s really yummy 🙂 It’s fast
and simple enought to throw together in a few minutes. I use canned
peas, because it’s quicker. It would work well with dried peas as
well. I served it last night with cornbread and spinach. As a side
dish, this recipe will serve 2 – 4 people.

Southwestern Style Black Eyed Peas

1 can black-eyed peas
1 carrot, diced
1/2 onion, diced
1/4 green pepper, diced
1 stalk celery, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
1/2 t salt, or to taste
1/4 t pepper, or to taste
1/4 t tobasco or other hot sauce, or to taste

Mix all ingredients together in a saucepan, and bring to boil. Simmer
for at least 10 minutes, but 20 – 25 is better.
