I had a hankering the other day for black-eyed peas, but wanted to make more of a meal out of them. Typically I whip some up from frozen with a little onion, bacon bits and jalapeño when I get these urges, and just eat them right out of the pot. But I had plenty of ingredients on hand and homemade broth and ham chunks in the freezer. I didn’t have the time to make them from dried, but frozen are a good substitute when pressed for time. By being pressed for time, I mean that I wanted these for lunch and didn’t have all day. I did have to wait about an hour for this to simmer to the tenderness I prefer, but I also didn’t want to eat lunch at dinner time. Aside from the simmering time, this was quick and easy to prepare. —anotherfoodieblogger
