The cooler it gets outside, the more I think about stick to your ribs food. These peas over rice with a piece of hearty bread fill the bill. Taste as you go along, and stop at seasoning blend that fits you. I'm a spicy gal myself, others not so much. season and make them yours

    Get the soaked peas and clean thru them removing any small stones and irregular peas out of the way. Next, hit the treadmill or read a few chapters while your tails are cooking.
  • 3
    Remove tails from the pot to a platter so they don't cook to death. Add your peas and cook over medium heat covered for 1 hour.

    Check after 1 hour, likker should be thickening up, if liquid level is too low, add either water (2 cups) or chicken stock. Taste and adjust seasonings.

    Turn heat to low cover and let peas go another hour, in that last hour, return your tails to the pot, at the 30 minute mark check the peas for tenderness. Cut the pot off and let them continue to do there stuff. Leave the lid on.
