-3 cups dried
black-eyed peas - 6 cups packed,
chopped collards
-6 cloves of garlic,
minced
- 2 medium onions, chopped
-1 ½
tsp.
salt -Freshly ground pepper
Place black-eyed peas and 6 cups water in very large
soup pot or Dutch oven. Bring to a boil, lower heat and simmer, partially
covered until peas are tender. About 15 min. into the cooking, add garlic. The
peas will take 30-35 min. to cook. When they are tender, add salt, leeks, and
greens. Cover and continue to simmer a few more minutes. The greens and
leeks will cook very quickly. Season to taste with pepper. Serve hot. Makes 6-8
servings.
