Black eyed peas and Greens.
This is basic but you can add hot peppers to it if you like.
You can also make it alll in the same pot using PIP if your not making a ton.
Yall think I’m in trouble with the black eye peas liquid up there so close to the top of the bowl? Nope.. Use a stainless steel bowl. I didn’t have one at the house I was making this at. As the Greens cook, it will cause their level to go down, so, as the greens drop, so will the bowl, but as it drops, the water level in the bowl with peas will also go down because the peas will be absorbing it as they cook, it will go down evenly, so it shouldn’t spill over inside. Not that it will hurt the Greens, but it could dry the peas out too early if it does so you want to pack the greens so that as they wilt they will do so evenly, you could also put a long legged trivet in to be sure that the peas don’t tip.. but the greens should wilt down and drop the bowl straight down into it all.
