BLACK EYED PEAS
Southern comfort food that is easy and delicious!
This southern favorite is naturally allergy friendly and satisfying. Serve with the juicy and tender meat, a side of rice and your favorite cornbread.
Why we love Black Eyed Peas:
Not only is this dish allergy friendly, it's naturally gluten free and dairy free. It's southern comfort food at its finest. A quick and easy meal to prep. Though you do need to plan ahead since the beans need to soak over night.
This meal is versatile with the toppings and sides. I grew up eating this served over rice with a side dish of cornbread with butter and a drizzle of honey. I personally don't love eating the meat, yet others love the ham hock. You can serve the black eyed peas over cauliflower rice for a grain free meal or diced and baked potato pieces. Others love to drizzle ketchup over their bowl.
