    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
