    Less oil-more spices and serve with cornbread or over rice for a complete protein. Frozen purple hulls or crowder peas work just as well. - 1/2/08

    I soaked dried black-eyed peas instead of using frozen. Also I sprayed with Misto so used less oil, & I added a green pepper & seasoned with Mrs. Dash & cayenne pepper. Quite yummy! - 12/29/07

    The recipe was a bit confusing because the listed ingredients say to drain the canned tomatoes but the body of the recipe says to include the tomato liquid. I chose to do the latter and even though I don't like black eyed peas this recipe is great! Thanks for sharing it. - 12/31/08

    A little bland and I found that it could have used more liquid to cook in- next time will try with more spices and tomato maybe. But still a good dish to try! - 2/3/09

    Yummy. Nice way to change up side dishes. Could add different spices to turn up the flavor or tweak for different meals. - 9/8/07

    This recipe sounds interesting. I like the idea of using dried black-eyed peas instead of frozen or canned. I would also serve it over brown rice to complete the protein. - 12/30/08

    It's a great meal, freezes well too! One time I added a few little smoklies cut up, or course that makes it non vegan! - 12/28/08

    Made this for dinner today, only thing I changed was used dried Black Eyed Peas, this is really good. It's supposed to bring you good luck if we eat this on New Years Eve or for dinner on New Year. Thanks for the recipe. - 1/1/08

    I really like this dish but, of course, I didn't make it 'as is.' I used only 1 T. of oil and I cooked the garlic (in ingredients list but not 'how to' section) with the onions for about 15 mins. before adding tomatoes (used Rotel--yum!) and peas. I served w/corn bread but rice would be good, too. - 1/2/15

    This recipe was great. Instead of the stewed tomatoes, I used diced tomatoes with chiles. I love the spice. - 1/4/11

    That's great. I usually saute' of my vegetables in this manner, with tomatoes on the side, never in the mix. But actually mixing tomatoes in, is not a bad idea.

    I love it. I'll do it often but with a bit less onions & w/powdered garlic & basil instead of the cloves. Also, skip on the salt.

    Sounds like a winner - but I'll take the advice of others and add some basil, fennel seeds for more flavor.
    Thanks!
