What do you think of cooking peas or beans and having them for some meals?

Question

I find all kinds of peas and beans such as chick peas, blackeye peas, broad beans etc very nutrious and tasty. I want to know what other people think and how you make them . Thank you!

To Alaska: well actually alaska I was wondering why more people don't eat them- besides these products are very important at times of crises as they can store without spoiling and you can keep them for ever you require them.

Answer 1

I like both and I know they are nutritious, even recommended in some illnesses. As a child I loved peas because of their round shape. Dry beans must be kept in water overnight (or about 10hrs) to swell up. Then you wash them put them to boil for about 15 minutes, discard the water, put them in fresh lukewarm (heated) water and let them boil for 2 hrs.
When they are almost ready add salt, a bit of oil, tomato paste and spices to taste.

Answer 2

In some places in the US south, it is tradition to have black eyed peas, cornbread and greens on New Years Day.
The peas are prepared from canned or dry by following the package directions (for new to the food cooks).
