Published: September 17, 2012

Black eyed peas are a staple in Southern cooking but they are usually cooked with pork products.  This vegetarian version is flavored with aromatics including garlic, cumin seed, and coriander.  You can use this recipe as a base for a delicious black-eyed bean stew or salad.  Soak the beans overnight to cut down on cooking time.
