We normally have gunshots also, but last night was quiet. Only stayed at the friend’s house till about 10, then we wished each other Happy New Years and went home to go to bed. I was tired but somehow I got distracted and stayed up anyway.
I forgot to soak my black eyed peas last night so I’m doing a quick soak now. Wish I could find the recipe I used a few years ago, they were actually good. Normally they’re pretty bland. If anyone has a recipe to share, I’d appreciate it!
I don’t cook black eyed peas here because no one will eat them.
Maybe because they were too bland. lol
IMO any lentil is bland unless cooked properly. We inhaled the navy beans
Put
Chopped Onion
HAM bone in crock pot added equal amounts of
Beef broth and water
And added the dry beans.
A couple of bay leafs forgotten added later
I do believe the thing that makes them great is they are NOT presoaked but absorb the broth made from ham, onion and beef broth (that adds just enough salt)
Very seldom buy ham with bone in it but a small spiral at 80 cents a pound was perfect for Christmas dinner, many sandwiches, an addition to omelets and the soup. If we had gotten a bit larger would have made some ham salad We are remembering it’s rich flavor and hope to find another bargain ham in the future.
Jalapenos are good in them.
