Something Different to Do with Black-Eyed PeasOctober 12, 2009By tatertots1
"The peas have a subtle coconut flavor and worked well over brown rice. I made mine without ham and with low sodium veg. broth (where it calls for water or broth). Even without the ham they were delicious. Next time I think I will add carrots. I think the sweetness of the carrots would compliment the sweetness of the peas and it will add some color to the dish."
