You can soak dried black eyed peas overnight and cook them during the day for a tasty traditional dish with cornbread and can make so many other delicious dishes. A favorite of mine is to make this simple and easy spicy black eyed pea dip. It goes together so quickly and even makes a delicious topping to go along with cooked greens or bread. Here’s how I make it. Use leftover black eyed peas or you can use one can of black eyed peas and then drain and empty them into a bowl. A cup of fresh salsa or a can of drained diced spicy tomatoes with chilis. Mix together and pour into a small baking dish. Top with grated cheese and bake until bubbly. Serve with tortilla chips or spoon over a side of greens. Enjoy!
