I am really excited to get this recipe out to you all. I was looking for a recipe that would be great for black-eyed peas for our New Year’s get together and found this one from veganrunnereats.com. However, I decided to change it a bit to fit my own dietary needs and to make it my own. So if you would like the original, you are welcome to visit her website, but here is the one that is the one I created. When I served it to my friends, they were so amazed at how great these tasted. I even got a “these are the best black-eyed peas I have ever had.” Well now, if that is the result I get, I will be making these every year. I wanted to share this recipe with you so that you can have that experience too. Have a great and fabulous New Year.
