I just love green beans, they cook up quickly and can be enjoyed both hot and cold. This recipe adds in black-eyed peas, a very underrated bean, but they are actually buttery and creamy and add protein to this vegetarian side.

I just bought a bag of fresh green beans and have black-eyed peas in the pantry so there you go! I was a little worried about the heat but the flavors meld beautifully. So very good…this one’s going in the save file! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/4deaa92f52c507101f66e5760bfd540e5e4aceb0bb9e2f752d180510c376dbd9.jpg
Thanks for sharing, so glad you liked it!
Great idea, thanks.
This is one of my husband’s favourite recipes. I make it according to directions, with onions (which I’m allergic to) so I can’t attest for this dish, but my husband and our guests always enjoy it.
