Anyone have a good one? Never made them before. Is it similar to making white or red beans?

Not exactly what you're looking for, you can make a great bean salad with them.

2 cans black eyed peas drained
2 Bell peppers
Diced cherry tomatoes
Jalapenos
Celery
Parsley
Olive Oil
Lemon Juice
Season with salt & pepper
Edit: garlic and shallots also

You can cook them just like red or white beans, just don't put as much liquid in the pot with them since they do cook much faster than red and white beans.

I cooked mine yesterday and used onion, bell pepper, celery, garlic, green onion, bay leaf, chicken stock instead of plain water, a few shots of Worcestershire and a dash or two of hot sauce. For meat, I just used some seasoning ham chunks.

I did put my beans in a bowl and filled it with hot water while I cut up my seasonings just to make sure they were clean. I drained them into a colander and ran cold water over them to finish my rinse before dumping them in the pot.

Cook time was about 2 hours on a low boil/high simmer.

1 lb dried peas, soaked
1 small-med onion
3 cloves garlic
6 strips bacon
1 can low sodium chicken broth

Render bacon, remove bacon, add onion.
Once almost browned, add garlic for about a minute or two. Add peas and can of low sodium chicken broth and water until 1/2 in above peas. Season to taste. Let it simmer and add liquid as neccessary until soft.

Wife makes a roux and gets a ham bone from Honeybaked ham in hers. It’s legit with the smoky roux and ham flavor

People will scoff, but the secret to our family recipe is tomato paste, and I hate tomatoes. About 1/2 small can per pot.

Sorry I'm late but here you go for next year!

2 lbs of Camellia blackeye peas... soaked overnight

Drain/rinse beans, add to pot with 7 cups water, turn on high heat.

While it comes to a boil, in a seperate pan, pan fry 1 lb of pickled pork and 4-5 strips of bacon. I start with a small amount of oil - maybe a tablespoon - just to stop it from sticking at first, but eventually it releases enough fat to cook itself.

Cook it down for about 10 min or so, enough to give it a good color, and then transfer to the pot of beans, making sure to leave the grease in the pan.

Then, immediately saute about 1/3 of a container of Guidry's creole seasoning (yeah, I'm lazy, you can also chop up some onion, bell pepper, parsley, garlic, and celery). I sautee it for a few min - enough to get it soft, and then transfer that to the bean pot as well.

Once the pot gets to a boil, let it boil for 10 min, then turn down and simmer for 90 minutes. It will probably come to a boil while you are cooking down pork / vegetables. Usually I'm finished with the vegetables and adding them to the pot close to the end of the 10 min boil time.

Stir every 15-20 min or so. Simmer for 90 minute, then cut the fire and let sit for about 30 min. Good to go.

Nothing to scoff at, helps thicken it up.

It came out nice and I had everything on hand. I had frozen chicken stock, jarred roux (that I made a month ago) black eyed peas in the pantry, the rest of the honey baked ham and bone and a couple pieces of Jacobs andouille. I had bought a huge cabbage that was picked Monday at Becnels in Belle Chase. Used half and made slaw with the other half. Invited the neighbors and the pot got eaten completely. Surprised me but I think I’ll do it again new year.

I made a big seafood gumbo for Christmas Eve so now when it cools off I’m ready for just a good old chicken and sausage.

Thanks to everyone who chimed in. I ended up cooking them similar to other beans I do. I soaked overnight. Then got them to a boil while I cooked my salt pork, Tasso and bacon. Took the meat out and cooked my trinity. I think added all ingredients to the beans and switched the heat to a simmer for another hour. I decided to go fishing for a bit, so I finished them in a crock pot for 4 hours. They came out excellent!
I didn’t get a picture but I did get one of the prime tenderloin we put a light smoke on and then finished on the grill.

My buddy from Honduras puts sour cream in all his beans. Adds a nice touch.

Yo DomincDecoco, how much you selling your cream for? Sounds like some serious juice, bra!
