If you are looking for quick and easy southern-style recipes for cooking southern peas or cowpeas, I have you covered. I also include step-by-step instructions and expert tips for preparing these delicious legumes. Black-eyed peas are probably the most famous variety of cowpeas and are often eaten on New Year's Day for good luck. Other types include field peas, crowder peas, zipper aka cream peas, purple hull, and lady peas.

Lady Cream peas are a humble variety of field peas, as they are known for here in the south. They come in many names, such as zipper, crowder, cream, pink eye, or black eye. Lady peas are a Southern favorite.

Robb Walsh, author of Texas Eats keeps his Fresh Field Peas simple with a soul food inspired recipe that begins (as many good things do) with bacon. Onions are sweated in the bacon fat, and the peas are added and simmered with chicken broth, a few pods of okra as a thickener, and a lone chile for heat. Fresh peas don't need too much stove top, just simmer until tender and serve.
