1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, diced
1 cloves of garlic, minced (use 2 cloves if you like them garlicy)
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 lb frozen black eyed peas
Salt
Boil a big pot of salted water. Plunge collard greens into water and cook for 10 minutes. While they are cooking, move to the next step.
Use a pressure cooker if you have one. If not, use a big pot for the next step. Heat onion and saute onions for 5 minutes. Add garlic and red pepper and cook for one minute. Add 4 cups of water from the collard greens pot, the collard greens, and the black eyed peas and stir well. Add 1 teaspoon of salt. Cook for 30 minutes (or if using a pressure cooker, cook on high pressure for 7 minutes and do a quick release on the pressure). Taste and add more salt if needed.
Serve hot with lots of liquid like a soup. Great with hot pepper sauce and GF DF cornbread!
