They are a popular ingredient in Hoppin' John, a traditional Southern American dish made with black-eyed peas, rice, and pork. Black-eyed peas can also be used to make falafel, a Middle Eastern dish made with ground chickpeas or other legumes. They can be cooked by boiling, pressure-cooking, or slow-cooking to achieve the desired texture.
