Directions
This Vegetarian Black Eyed peas recipe is done in the crock pot and is extremely tasty as it has it’s influences from Africa and can be made spicy or not depending on your taste!
I have create a few variations for this dish below. You can make it more African in origin or American depending on your taste preference.
Personally, I love the African verses as it is spicy and savory all at the same time.
This dish serves great alongside fried plantain (bananas) and white rice as well.
I love to serve it over FRESH ARUGLA you can even mix it in and that tastes even better!
