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.

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.

I'm 78 years old . My mom made black eyed peas and rice for years. I remember giving her a mother's day card says PS you are the best cook in the world. I still belive that.

Whenever I cook black eyed peas I thinking of this song my Dad used to sing when he cooked beans. "Beans and cornbread had a fight, beans knocked cornbread out of sight." It would always make me laugh.

Here's to good health and prosperity in 2021!

You know how we like our pinto beans and black eyed peas better the second day? Well, I just made these tonight for our New Year’s Day gathering.

We’ll collectively pray for God to bless our new year and enjoy each other’s company.

Oh AB! This is exactly how we fix black eyes! Also it was the way that my Mom and Grandma fixed them! Way too many videos that I have seen go to extremes to add flavor by adding celery, onions, bell pepper and cook them down before adding the peas. I'm with you, I want to taste the black eye peas! 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!
