Ingredients
Fresh Collard Greens, 1 large bunch, washed with stems removed and torn into small piecesBlackeye Peas 1& 1/2 cup dryWater, tap, 7 cup Vegetable bullion, 3 tsp Cumin, .5 tsp Liquid smoke, .75 tsp Dried Kelp - about a thumb length broken in piecesGarlic 4 cloves chopped fineI dried small red chili pepper
Directions
Rinse dried beans and remove stones. Place beans in a container and cover with 4 cups of water. Let stand overnight. In the morning drain and rinse, discarding soaking water.

In a large pot place collard greens and water. Cook until collards wilt and reduce, about 5 minutes of boiling will reduce the collards.

In a fry pan caramelize the onions in water, adding enough water to just keep onions from sticking, stirring constantly. This takes about 15 minutes. When the onions are almost caramelized, add the chopped garlic a splash of water and cook for a minute or so.

Prepare slow cooker and add the collards with water, the onions and garlic, the spices, chili pepper and kelp. Stir to combine and cook for 8 hours on high.

Remove the chili pepper and serve.
