    How to Make Vegetarian Black Eyed Peas

  1. Step 1

    Pour one bag of black eyed peas into a pot with enough lukewarm tap water to cover the black eyed peas.

  2. Step 2

    Place the pot's top over the peas so they will swell for 1 hour.

  3. Step 3

    Add the desired amount of seasoning (pepper, salt, Lawry's seasoning salt, honey, imitation bacon bits, onions, margarine, baking soda) after black eyed peas are swollen.

  4. Step 4

    Cook black eyed peas on simmer for 2 hours, and place the top back on the pot.

  5. Step 5

    Stick a fork in the black eyed peas to make sure they are soft. If they are cooked fully, they should easily smash in your fingers or on the fork if flattened.
