Directions:
The nighttime earlier y'all desire to serve the dish, house the black-eyed peas inwards a 4 quart tedious cooker. Fill it amongst water. Cover as well as let to sit down overnight.

My thoughts:

I know this won't come upwards every bit a revelation to anyone but it is hot! Baltimore is e'er hot inwards the summertime but nosotros commonly practise non accept as well as hence many days inwards a row of 100+ temperatures. I'm melting. Luckily I learned 2 summers agone when I was developing recipes for my cookbook that the tedious cooker is a wonderful affair inwards the summertime time, particularly when it is fifty-fifty also hot to grill. So I made this light, brothy black-eye peas dish that is, I think, the best black-eyed peas I've ever had. It is fresh tasting rather than heavy as well as and hence elementary to make. I did all the prep the twenty-four hours earlier as well as simply added it to the tedious cooker inwards the morning. Serve as-is or over rice.
