[@Tropicalbliss45]

I LOVE my black eyed peas! I love it’s soup, stewed, as patties, and black eyed peas and rice. My husband loves it too.

[@marissas2744]

Cinnamon is new to me in black eye peas ,it can also be stewed like chicken or curried as well, atleast that's how I know it. It's always nice to see the different ways to cook things.

[@eatahfood]

Yep you can do a brown stew for it as well!

[@rebeccajohnson967]

I would try them but as an Aussie they aren't as easy to find so this gives me incentive to look for them and follow your process to make the perfect black eye peas meal/recipe

[@eatahfood]

Nice! Definitely try to get your hands on the dried peas if you can.

[@dr.saadiqakhan4191]

Never did it with these spices before...always did it as boil and fry it up with garlic, chadon beni and pimento...and then eaten with some tamarind chutney. Great meal esp during Ramadan...will try this version for sure

[@bill8985]

Black Eyed Peas are my favorite - and your recipe looks so good. Will make this soon! Thanks for all the great ideas. My grandmother would serve up a plate of hot peas with a big dollop of green tomato pickle. Somehow the contrast of hot peas and a cool vinegary tomato/onion bite was so delicious.

[@eatahfood]

That sounds delicious! Thanks for watching 😎

[@bill8985]

@@eatahfood Oh, yeah - I've subbed. Look forward to watching more of your vids.

[@paulinetaylor629]

[@nerdteacher]

Can't find black-eyed peas here (sadly), but I remember growing up with them as a kid and am always surprised when folks say that they *hate* them, lmao. Mostly because they feel like an inoffensive thing, so I get being able to take/leave 'em? Like, I get cilantro (especially if it tastes like soap to you), haha.

[@camecex]

Mmmhmm. Yes Baidawi. Just in time. Wanted a boss method to make it and whoop here it is.

[@eatahfood]

Niceness!

[@vitajulien1671]
