Black eyed peas (not the pop group but the beans)
soak overnight in salted water
next day drain and rinse, then add them to a pot of boiling water with chopped carrots, celery, celery leaves, 2 cloves of garlic and 2 strong chopped chillies
cover and simmer, for a few hours on low heat, but keep the beans covered with water
after serving, add loads of salt and cracked black pepper , a splash of good extra virgin olive oil and few good splashes of tabasco and serve with garlic bread
poor mans food but fit for kings
