Black Eyed Recipes

These are large, very moist apple-cinnamon muffins perfect for a busy school day. You don't even have to tell the kids that there are beans in them - and you don't have to believe that they're low fat and protein filled, either!

Adapted from http://www.aliciasrecipes.com/Recipe/8371/
Pinto-Bean-Bread.htm to use some leftover black-eyed peas I had, this bread gives a rise and crumb that is perfect for sandwiches, and has a flavour that is subtle but present. It is great toasted with mustard and pastrami!
1 loaf, 14 slices

Black eyed peas simmered with carrots, celery, onion and green peppers have a wonderful homestyle flavor.

Amended recipe from fatfreevegankitchen

Easy recipe that's fresh and nutritious! Low in fat. High in fiber and protein!

This is great served over lettuce for a filling lunch or as a side to chicken or fish.

This is a slightly spicy and very yummy dish that's cooked island-style. Can be eaten alone or with another vegetable or meat. ENJOY!

1st I don’t measure, so I’m doing my best to provide the recipe for ya (so please season to taste). If you love black-eyed peas, but don't love to eat pork and want to cut back on fat/calories without compromising flavor - this is a great quick recipe. Try adding peppers, stewed tomatoes, other spices or veggies.

This is is a very popular meal in Nigeria

This recipe makes 6 servings, but each serving size is two patties and 1/3cup salsa.

This is similar to Hoppin' John, a must for a Southern New Year's Day in the U.S. (brings good luck), delicious and healthful all year long. This version doesn't include ham or sausage like most traditional versions. It's vegetarian, but I usually make it with chicken broth. Traditionally the greens would be collard greens or mustard greens and served on the side, but my kids eat more greens when they are mixed in.

Rinse your beans before you cook them (always!) but these don't need to pre-soak. They usually cook in a little over an hour.

Black-eyed peas grab some heat and spice from jalapeno peppers and cumin in this flavorful slow cooker preparation that also includes diced ham, bacon, bell peppers, onion, and garlic.

This is VERY SPICY if you follow the recipe exactly. If you want to cool it down cut the spices down!

Really hearty snack, appetizer or meal...original recipe called for 2 jalopenos, but I swapped them out for the curry and garlic powders.

Cooking time includes 40 minutes time to cook dry BEPs... if using rinsed, canned beans, cooking time is 3-4 minutes. Some people don't soak BEPs, but I like it better when I soak them

Good candidate for your food processor (which I used) but can easily be put together without one.

Make small cakes and top with salsa, sour cream, cheese, whatever you like and use as appetizers for a party (hold up well at room temp). I dipped them in medium chilpolte salsa...but they are great just as they are at room temp.

I ended up with 24 (2" plus) pancakes which made 6 (4 cake) servings. I like to put a couple in a snack sized baggie and keep out at night for sudden snack urges.

Great for any snack, hor d'oeuvers! Serve with pita chips, crackers, or anything!

Black-Eyed peas are a Southern staple, especially on New Year's Day, when cooks combine them with rice for Hoppin' John. Eat them for good luck! This legume dish has depth of flavor for a treat all year! Refrigerate for up to 1 week or freeze for 3 months!
