    The Ingredients calls for spinach, but the directions make no mention of it. The directions do mention kale though. Does kale = spinach?

    This was good--with some changes to the procedure. Cooked fresh black eyes, set them aside. Heated olive oil--threw in 5 cloves minced garlic, along with red pepper flakes. Put in fresh spinach until wilted, about half a 10 oz bag. Added black eyes, salt, black pepper, and vinegar. Served with garlic bread.

    @Jennifer, you really know your way around a kitchen. Good suggestions. I've never seen this recipe before and it needs to be edited which I will do now. Thanks for pointing out problems! We try to diligently edit our recipes but sometimes they just slip through the cracks or are user added recipes.

    it it really good if you add butter and salt and pepper. If not it is bland.

    This was exceedingly yummy. I could have eaten more. There were no leftovers. I only had one can of black eyed peas. I'll buy more next time.

    Made this the other day and I was surprised on how good this came out, being the fact that I've never been a fan of black eye peas. My fiancé on the other hand was not impressed by the texture and how mushy and salty it was. Good recipe, next time I'll add less salt and maybe drain out the beans so that it wont be mushy.

    Made this and it was a home run - PERFECT for spring/summer grill nights. Other reviews have noted about the salty flavor - rinse your beans or try low sodium versions - or cook dry beans early (or pressure cooker). Our CSA has an abundance of greens - substitute spinach with kale, collard greens or even some swiss chard for different texture and color. Keep your eyes open at your local farmers markets and incorporate this one in your menu plan since greens are becoming available.
