CROWDER PEAS!!
(makes about five servings-worth. kansas-version of this southern dish; use all fresh ingredients when possible.)
















the recipe calls for:
- *a pressure cooker.
- 2 bags frozen crowder peas OR purple hull peas.
- ham hock (can use 6-8 bacon slices, but preferably ham hock.)

directions:
- put peas in pressure cooker, add water about a cup over the tops of the peas, and put hamhock in.
- pressure-cook for ten minutes.
- (optional: add italian beans here, and cook on medium for five minutes.)
- add salt to taste. (pepper optional; none for me, please.)
- drain a tad. (we like em to have a little juice in there still.)
