the black eyed peas the end zip
[artist id="1163843"]Raphael Saadiq[/artist] didn't drop any comedy into his funky set, though he did go into a long monologue about growing up in nearby Oakland and listening to Al Green for inspiration. Saadiq and his band wore matching black suits as though they were going to hit the blackjack tables immediately following the show, and he treated the afternoon like a hot '60s R&B revue. Working the stage like a deranged bandleader, Saadiq called upon the early afternoon crowd to sway and bounce along with his old-school soul jams.
Being a North Indian, I grew up eating Punjabi Black-Eyed Peas Curry, also referred to as Rongi, Chawli or Lobia Masala in different parts of India. Interestingly they are also referred to as cowpeas, and are from the beans family, not peas.
It was very interesting to find that eating Black eyed peas on New Years day is a tradition in Southern United States. They say it brings good luck. We love black eyed peas any time, so I have started to make them on New Years too ?
Black eyed peas cook much faster than other beans, which means you can get this meal ready pretty quickly. I have changed this recipe to make it in an Instant Pot, but you could very well use a normal pressure cooker. The preparation for this curry is very easy and you will love the result. It is a comforting and nutritional meal.
This curry needs very basic ingredients, which I always keep in my pantry. The only preparation needed is soaking the black eyed peas. They cook much faster if they have soaked well for 4 or more hours. If you forget to soak, then try soaking for -1 hour in hot water and cook for longer, about 20 mins in the pressure cooker.
I use dry black eyed peas that I have soaked for 4 hours in this recipe. Using the instant pot to cook the black eyed peas is a great convenience and we can use dry black eyed peas, rather than canned. It is also cheaper to use dry peas. If you want to use canned black eyed peas, check recipe notes for more details.
Enjoy this curry over basmati rice or with paratha. You can also cook rice, pot-in-pot with this curry. When cooking this curry after soaking the peas overnight, cook with white rice pot-in-pot for 12 minutes at high pressure. See my spinach dal recipe for how to cook pot-in-pot rice with a dal or curry.
My mother told my brother and I that we will earn a dollar in the coming year for every black eyed pea you eat on New Year's Day. That's what her mom told her and her brothers and Grandma was probably told the same thing.
I am 71 years young and like you, I grew up with the tradition of eating black eyed peas on New Year's day with the ham bone saved from Thanksgiving and/or Christmas. Always in a pressure cooker. Simple is best. not much salt as the ham takes care of that, chopped onion and garlic and the ole secret ingredient, Lipton powder onion soup mix, ha. Makes anything taste great. I use the overnight method, soaking with a teaspoon of baking soda, then throw that away. Old wives tales say that that cuts down on the gas issue. fresh water, garlic, onion, soup powder, and ham bone and pressure for 20 minutes. Of course serve with cornbread, but cornbread without sugar. God Bless our old folks that carried this tradition. My Mom would tell me an old friend had said that black eyed peas was actually cow feed, not fit for humans; but he must not have cooked them the way my Mother did, ha.
Audrey, I am going to visit my parents (95 and 93) for Christmas and I would love to make this for them but I will be long gone before the 1st. What is you opinion about freezing these yummy black eyed peas? Thank you for your time and I wish you a very happy holiday! Marti in Tampa
True southern cornbread has no sugar or flour--just cornmeal, buttermilk, salt and backing soda in a hot greased/buttered iron skillet. One idea for leftover peas...they make a great salad cold with cut-up tomatoes,sweet pepper, celery etc.
The traditional New Year's Day meal in the South is collard greens, black eyed peas, hoppin' John, cornbread, and potlikker soup. Having pork and ham is considered lucky and will bring prosperity to you and your family.
There is a well known phrase, "Peas for pennies, greens for dollars, and cornbread for gold." The peas are symbolic of coins or wealth, greens are symbolic of paper money, and cornbread is symbolizes gold.
