Notes
* If starting with dried black-eyed peas, sort to remove any debris and shriveled beans. Rinse well. Place in a large pot, cover with 2 inches of water and soak overnight. When done soaking, drain, rinse and cover again with 2 inches of water. Simmer until tender, about 1 hour. Taste for doneness. If using canned, rinse beans before use.
