SLOW COOKER SPICY BLACK-EYED PEAS

Steps:

Cover the slow cooker and cook on Low for 6 to 8 hours until the beans are tender.

SLOW COOKER BLACK EYED PEAS

Steps:

• Rinse black eyed peas, and follow package directions for quick soak (Boil for two minutes, then let sit for one hour). Rinse again, drain and place in slow cooker.
• Dissolve 3 chicken bullion cubes in a cup of hot water. (I usually put them in a coffee mug of water and microwave for about a minute and a half to dissolve.) Pour into the slow cooker. Add additional water if needed so that there is about 3/4 inch of liquid covering the peas.
• Add the remaining ingredients and stir just to get them wet. Note: If using fresh instead of dried minced onion, the amount would be about 1/2 cup. I use dried because they are already minced very finely and my family doesn't even notice it's in there that way. I also use refrigerated minced garlic and crumbled bacon from costco. That way I always have the ingredients on hand. Add a little salt and pepper.
• Cover and cook on low for about 7 hours. Taste and add additional garlic, salt and pepper if needed according to your preference. Serve with corn bread.

GOAN BLACK-EYED PEAS (SLOW COOKER)

Steps:

• Put the black-eyed peas in the slow cooker - no need to presoak.
• Peel and chop the tomatoes (or do what I did - use canned).
• Grind together the tomatoes, onion, ginger, garlic and chiles in a food processor (I used my stick blender and a deep-ish bowl). Add to slow cooker.
• Add the coriander, salt, turmeric, cumin and sugar to the slow cooker.
• Add the water and give it a stir. Cook on High for 7 hours. (Mine were done in about 5 hours). (See note about water. One reviewer reports using 6 cups and that that was enough.).
• Just before it's done, stir in the coconut milk and let it heat through, about 10 minutes.
• Garnish with cilantro. Serve with bread,naan, or rice, or on its own as a soup. (I strained off some of the liquid and served over rice).
• NOTE - I thought this was too much water. My peas cooked much more quickly than indicated, perhaps they were very fresh and just did not absorb as much water. When making again, I will reduce water and report back.
