re: Field Peas are underrated

A lady neighbor of mine, originally from S.W. La. cooks them down with the trinity and some meat-----ham or smoke sausage and also adds whole fresh pods of small okra to the dish near the end. I grow the okra and give her a good bit of it every summer.

She gave me some to try once and now cook it a few times during the summer since I find the combination to be very good.
