So What The Heck Do We Eat? -- Day 116, Black-Eyed Pea Stew
Sadly the VeganMoFo is over. I haven't done as well as I had expected, but there's always next year. Anyway, I did a search on my own blog just now, and found out that I had stopped doing my "So what the heck do we eat?" series in early August. So it's been 3 months since I last posted under that category. Time has just slipped out of my hand. I had to remedy the situation, and here is what I did. I dug up a recipe I collected last year and decided that I wouldn't get any of my vegan cookbook back until I finish cooking all of the recipes I've already collected. So today, I made the black-eyed pea stew -- recipe by Carla of "But did they EAT it?" (now discontinued) and "The Year of the Vegan". This is the first time I've tried eating any black-eyed peas (a.k.a. cow peas) which are actually beans. It's a wonderfully flavorful stew that is really tasty and satisfying. I added some cherry tomatoes and baby spinach for the colors and omitted marmite (I don't like that thing).
