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]

[@razorback6111]

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.

AB you are the ABSOLUTE BOMB and my favorite KZbin cook. You simplify all the mystery behind the culinary secrets of our parents and grandparents. I grew up with this New Year's tradition: peas for pennies (or change) collard greens for dollars, stewed tomatoes represented blood for good health, cornbread for community. Here's to good health and prosperity in 2021!

[@garyjackson9641]

I prefer to use smoked ham hocks,but I love your methods.

[@gregbaker1562]

This is absolutely my new favorite thing to do on NYD !! The smash is the move! I've followed your stuff for the smoker, so I'm not sure why this should have been any surprise. I had two bowls and needed to save room for the collards!

[@danadyd59]

I fix my black eyed peas the same way. Plus, I like collards with mine. Southern food is delicious!

You are a sweetheart! My dad was from Georgia. He used salt pork, and served it with cold, raw, diced onions as a garnish, and chopped green onions for color. What I learned from you is to smash some of the beans to thicken the pot liquor. I'm making these for my family today. Thanks for the tips. Much love to you, aloha.
