CMR Black Eyed Peas, Spinach and Tomatoes
- Minutes to Cook:
- Number of Servings: 4
Ingredients
10 oz frozen black eye peas2 15 oz cans of Rotel Diced Tomatoes & Green Chillies4 cups fresh babh spinach (4 handfuls) or greens of your choice-cabbage)2 tsp minced garlic (jar garlic if fine or powder)1 chopped onion1 tbs butter ( or 2 to 3 slices of bacon instead)
Put your frozen black eye peas in a sauce pan. Cover them with water. The water should be 2 inches above the peas so they are generously covered. Turn on high to a boil and them simmer for 30-45 minutes. At 30 minutes take out one pea and see if they are soft. You can decide if you want mush peas or if you want crunchier. I like mine right in the middle. When the peas are done, drain them.
Take out your saute pan. Melt your butter and your garlic. When the butter is melted, add the spinach and the tomatoes. Toss the mixture until the spinach wilts. This means you are loosening the spinach but not cooking it until is's mush.
As soon as the spinach is coated and the tomatoes are warm, you can sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste and you are ready to serve.
The modern thing to do would be to put a portion of the pea mixture on your plate and serve the meal on top. If you want, you can add another side dish like mashed potatoes, but it's not necessary. And if you are following a low-carb lifestyle, this should fit your specifications without the potatoes.
