Favorite Black Eye Peas
One cup of cooked black-eyed peas, or cowpeas, has 160 calories and negligible fat. Their 5 grams of protein represents 9 percent of the recommended daily intake for men and 11 percent for women. As with all legumes, black-eyed peas are especially good sources of soluble fiber, which helps prevent type 2 diabetes by keeping blood sugar balanced after you eat. Soluble fiber also binds to cholesterol and carries it out of the body. Men get 21 percent of their daily intake of fiber, while women get 32 percent from 1 cup of black-eyed peas.Ingredients
2 cans black eye peas
1 sm. chopped onion
1/2 tsp. dried thyme
1 can rotel tomatoes
Drain and rinse peas
pour into 2 tbsp. olive oil for healthier or 2 tablespoons bacon grease add onion cook a couple min. add peas and garlic if you like. add the tomatoes and time and enough water almost to top or extra flavor use chicken broth.
