PERSIAN-STYLE CARROTS AND BLACK-EYED PEAS
One of my favorite crops from my husband's farm are his fall carrots. I prefer the fall carrots because as the weather gets colder the vegetable sugars concentrate, yielding the sweetest carrots of the year. We use lots of carrots in this recipe, so that it's more about the carrots than anything else. For the best flavor, serve it cold the day after you make it. You can substitute chickpeas for the black-eyed peas, if you prefer to use another type of bean.

- In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the black-eyed peas and 4 cups water and bring to a boil over high heat. Lower the heat and simmer until tender, about 25 minutes. Off the heat, add the salt and set aside while the peas absorb some salt for 10 minutes. Drain.
- Meanwhile, put the saffron and water in a small bowl. Mix and set aside for at least 15 minutes and as long as overnight.
- Place a large sauté pan over medium-low heat and add the olive oil, onion, carrots, and red bell pepper, stirring until the peppers start to soften and the onion is translucent, about 10 minutes. Add the saffron (and its blooming water), Persian Spice Mix, garlic, and black-eyed peas. Season the carrots and peas with salt and pepper to taste and stew until the carrots and peppers are tender and the black-eyed peas are glazed.
- Remove from the heat and set aside to cool. Stir in the lemon juice, honey, and parsley. Serve cold or at room temperature.

BLACK-EYED PEAS WITH VEGETABLES AND SMALL PASTA
The range of bean and vegetable main dishes in the Greek repertory is striking; every region has its specialties. Many of the traditional dishes are called "olive oil dishes" (or ladera), because they are cooked with copious amounts of extra virgin olive oil. I tone down the amounts in my kitchen. But I still use enough to ensure that the broth accompanying vegetables or beans is alchemized to a velvety sauce, often enhanced with a splash of fresh lemon juice or vinegar just before serving. Since black-eyed peas require no soaking, you can cook this after work so long as you have some vegetables around the house. It is an utterly simple dish that I've adapted from a recipe in Ms. Kochilas's cookbook.

Cover with water by 2 inches, and bring to a gentle boil. Cover the pot, reduce the heat to low and simmer 20 minutes. Add salt to taste, and continue to simmer until the beans and vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes more. Taste and adjust seasoning. Add the pasta, increase the heat to medium-high, and simmer five to 10 minutes, until the pasta is cooked and much of the liquid has been absorbed. Stir in the greens, another 2 tablespoons olive oil if desired and the vinegar. Allow to cool for about 10 minutes before serving.

CASSEROLE WITH BLACK-EYED PEAS
This is a delicious casserole and it's so easy to make. I've put it in the crockpot for 4 hours on low instead of baking it, and that works great, too, especially if you're taking it to a pot-luck. Southwestern U.S. is where you'll find this great recipe.

Steps:
- Brown meat.

- Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes.
- Serve.
Tips:
- Use good quality ingredients: Fresh, organic vegetables and high-quality beans will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish.
- Soak the beans overnight: This will help to soften them and make them more digestible. If you don't have time to soak them overnight, you can quick-soak them by boiling them for 1 minute, then removing them from the heat and letting them sit for 1 hour.
- Cook the beans until they are tender but still have a slight bite to them: Overcooked beans will be mushy and bland.
- Don't add salt to the beans until after they are cooked: Adding salt too early can toughen the beans.
- Add aromatics to the pot while the beans are cooking: This will help to infuse the beans with flavor. Some good options include onion, garlic, celery, and bay leaves.
- Use a variety of spices: Black-eyed peas pair well with a variety of spices, such as cumin, chili powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper.
- Serve the beans with your favorite sides: Some good options include rice, cornbread, or collard greens.

Black-eyed peas are a delicious and versatile legume that can be used in a variety of dishes. They are a good source of protein, fiber, and vitamins and minerals. This simple recipe for black-eyed peas with carrots and caserta is a great way to enjoy this healthy and flavorful food.
