Easy Black-Eyed Peas<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Adapted from https:\/\/www.southernliving.com\/recipes\/easy-black-eyed-peas<\/span><\/p>\n

You can’t get more Southern than black-eyed peas, and this recipe is easy and flavorful, whether you start with dried, fresh, or frozen peas. Here’s a little wisdom from our Test Kitchen: If your broth tastes good, your beans will, too. Any experienced Southern cook will tell you that the key to flavorful broth is proper seasoning. In this black-eyed peas recipe, the depth of flavor comes from chicken broth, bacon, an onion-carrot-celery trio, and a combination of herbs and spices you may already have on hand, like garlic and rosemary. Some of our Test Kitchen staff like to serve black-eyed peas over rice with a little drizzle of olive oil and maybe some fresh herbs. It goes without saying that a little dash of hot sauce will always be a welcome addition to peas and cornbread, the ultimate Southern comfort food.<\/span><\/p>\n
