This is the first time I ever in my life basically cooked. My husband always did all the cooking. As I was saying this is the first time I ever made black eyed peas. After a long talk with God and asking him to bless them. I wowed my family and myself and made the best black eyed peas using your recipe. My daddy didn't believe that I cooked them. Thank you, thank you, thank you for making a cook out of me.

[@terrimccormick1324]

Hot soak is a method listed that you find on any bag of beans.

[@WastrelWay]

Smashing was a new one on me, too. I always just cooked them another hour or two until they fell apart by themselves. This is not only faster but better, because not all the beans have the same texture, which makes the dish more interesting -- it's almost like beans in a bean sauce.

[@jenifervelazquez-sanchez8256]

I just found this channel a few days ago but I’ve already binged so many videos. This is the type of cooking channel I want. Straight and to the point with no pretentiousness. Just a good ole southern boy showing how he cooks at home. Nothing was taught in “culinary school”, just showing how a great home cook learned from his own momma and daddy. I love it. Keep it up.

Gotta tell you, I followed this recipe to a T. My house smelled otherworldly as the peas simmered. When I took the first bite, my tongue reached up and slapped my forehead! Four stars my friend, I can’t wait till Easter so I can make it again. Had cornbread and collard greens on the side, rice in with the peas... can’t Say enough good things about it. Thank you!

These served with some rice, turnip or collard greens, and a skillet of cornbread, nothing better! Thank you Sir for sharing how you fix them and wishing you and yours a very Happy New Year!
