Black Eyed Peas by The Cajun Ninja 

BLACK EYE PEAS 1 (16oz) Pack of raw Black Eye Peas 1 Half Stick of Butter 1 Onion 1 Green Bell Pepper 2 Sticks of Celery 3 Cloves of Garlic 1 lb of Smoked Pork Tasso 1 32oz Container of Chicken Broth 2 Cups of Water (from boiled beans) 1 Tablespoon of Cajun Seasoning 1/2 Teaspoon of Garlic Salt 1/2 Teaspoon of Pepper 1 Bay Leaf Start out by heating a pot over Medium Low heat. Also, at this time, get a separate pot of water boiling. Wash the Black Eyed Peas in a strainer and set aside. Chop the onion, bell pepper, celery, and garlic. Cut the tasso into cubes. Melt the butter in the heated pot. Add the smoked tasso, and let sear for about 5 minuets. Remove tasso into a separate bowl. Next drop in the onion, bell pepper, celery, and garlic. Sauté for 25-30 minuets. Meanwhile, your water should have begun boiling. Add the peas to the water, and boil for 10 minuets uncovered. Strain the peas over a pot, reserving the water. Let sit until you’re done sautéing your vegetables. Add the chicken broth, tasso, and 2 Cups of the reserved water to the pot of sautéed vegetables. Add the Cajun Seasoning, Garlic Salt, and Pepper. Blend well, and bring to a boil. When you’ve brought the dish to a boil, cover, and lower to a simmering heat. Keep covered and cook for 1 & 1/2 to 2 hours, depending on how fast your simmering heat cooks. With about 40 minuets left, begin to cook some rice. After two hours, stir to desired consistency. Enjoy!

I do not eat black eyed peas but i do eat Black Eyed Peas by The Cajun Ninja. I have made this recipe every New Year since the recipe release. Absolutely delicious. Thanks The Cajun Ninja!

Oh yeah this makes my mouth water. I would put this over cornbread and eat it in my jammies. This is comfort food right here.

TX Gal loves your recipies -- my Husband is from NOLA and we loooooooove Louisiana cooking. Keep making those AWESOME recipies. We love you!!!!

2024 baby! (almost) God bless you, Mrs. Cajun, and your lil Cajuns. Happy New Year from the Southwest side of the boot.

I made these yesterday. They were AMAZING! I only had half a pound of tasso, so I added two ham hocks. Delicious!

Those blackeye peas looks so GOOD.😋 Happy New Year to you and your family.🎉🥂🎶

It looks Delicious I'm trying to make this recipe for happy new year's eve

Happy New Year and thanks for sharing!

Yum!! Making this with fried pork chops tonight! Going to try it in the InstantPot though..

Looks good man...Geaux Tigers n Saints!

I really enjoyed this. I watched 2 other black eyed pea videos and so interesting how depending on which region of the US you are from is how they are cooked. Thank you! Happy New Year.

I Made these last year on 01/02/2020 but I made sure to make these on New Years Day this year with Roasted Cabbage.😋 Mama needs all the Great Luck God is willing to give. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 I said it last year and I will say it again, “I hate Black Eyes Peas but These Black Eyed Peas are Creamy and Yummy.” 😋Maybe I should stop saying I hate Black Eyes Peas now🤣 Gotta Be that Pea Juice😉

Looks Delicious 😋 Happy New Year🎊 Oan loving the edits lol⚜️ ⚜️ ⚜️

Ooo happy new year!!!!

Definitely will be cooking this on New Years Day

It is pot likker (aka pot liquor, but is spelled likker in the South). Pot likker is the cooking juice left over from greens and/or peas. Sounds much better than pea juice! LOL

You’re pretty funny. Lol and you’re black eyed peas look great. Prepping mine now!

Damnit boy, you done did it again.....lol

I don’t eat black eyed peas but this looks good🤤

Now dats some "FLAVA" Throw in some Okra and you got a Homerun!!!! Go LSU Tigers👍

is there a written recipe anywhere?

Where’s the recipe 😩 can’t wait to make !!

Make a video how to make smothered cabbage

That beard looking goooood boi... (no homo)

Good video the sound effects are a lot tho sorta distracting maybe just a few less

the sound effects are a little extra.

Hey brother- I don’t see the recipe anywhere on here.

My 3rd time cooking!! Absolutely delicious!!!!!

Ok ! @cajun Ninja I made these for the first time and WOW! BEST EVER!!! I didn't have tasso so I used some basic smoked sausage and added a few strips if bacon. It is out of sight! So easy to follow and got rave reviews from the fam! You hit it once again ! Thanks!

I live in New Orleans and I love black eyed peas and cabbage for the new year. I will be cooking these black eyed peas for my New Years Eve party. Thanks for sharing!

Love this recipe! Happy new year! 2024!

If you are wondering “Should I make these peas🧐” The answer is YES!!! I hate black eyed peas but made them just for good luck😉 2019 was ROUGH🤒🤕🤮😵 Since my husband eats all kinds of beans or peas I was only cooking for him. We don’t eat pork so I used Hillshire Farm Smoked Beef Sausage and cut them into tiny pieces. I added a 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda to the pot since a nurse told me it stops the gassy bean farts🤭 These peas were smooth, creamy, flavorful with no overpowering pea taste. Total touchdown for these BEP😘😋

I will be making these for new year's. Thank you for posting Looks so good can't wait to make them

I was wondering when you would pop back up in my notifications!!

Yes Who Dat Nation and go Tigers and Happy New Year 's to you and your family 👊⚜⚜

You are very talented! But why do you sauté your Trinity out of order? Onions first, celery / Bell Pepper second…. And God (Garlic) last?

Oh my I'm in the wrong city.

Whenever my Lake Charles friends come to Atlanta they bring me some Taso. Hands down y'all have the best smoked meats in the country.

Can’t wait to make mine today. No Tasso, but I have some delicious smoked sausage from one of my Opelousas friends (Southern Savor). Smoked sausage and gonna add some smoked turkey....Between this and some collard greens and pork chops, I’m gonna be in HEAVEN! ❣️ Happy New Year 2020. Looking forward to more of your delicious recipes.

LOVE YOUR ACCENT. I NEVER MADE THESE PEAS AND REALLY DON'T LIKE THEM HOWEVER I'M AT WORK AND THE OLD MAN WANTS BLACKEYE PEAS SO HERE I AM. IT'S SMELLING GOOD TOO HOPEFULLY THEY'LL TASTE JUST AS GOOD! THANK YOU FROM #DETROIT

Looks yummy indeed! I gotta have okra in my black eye peas though, try it!

You forgot the turnip greens. Peas for the luck & greens money.

Best black eye peas I have ever had. And I really don't like black eyes peas. This recipe is amazing.

Hey Cajun Ninja, I pray that you had a wonderful Christmas and looking forward to a happy New Year. I'm ready for the New Year with my corned beef and cabbage and black eyed peas with hot water cornbread! I'm here to see you work your culinary magic!!! You're my favorite RU-vidr!!! I can't wait to move back home to New Orleans!

I just made this recipe I followed it step by step the only thing i did different was i added sum green onions. It turned out delicious i will definately make them again

I make blackeyed peas like this all the time in my InstantPot electric pressure cooker. Thirty minutes from dry peas to deliciousness ! Don’t forget the cornbread for moppin’ !!!

Just made this recipe. I missed out on the good luck by 24 hours, but the recipe was spot on ! I can’t find Tasso here, but the Andouille, cut thick was good enough for a substitute.. thanks for the video

I live up north, so subbed smoked ham and bacon for the tasso, but this was a big hit with my family. Thanks for another great recipe!

Missing the Louisiana Hot Sauce or Tabasco

I love black eyed peas I like your recipe I will make it Thank you may God Bless 🙏

I tried it with andouille last week and it was awesomesauce.

Can't stand black eye peas from a can, but this recipe will definitely make me change my mind!!

HIIIIIIIII

Made these yesterday to your recipe and they turned out the best we’ve ever had! Even the 9 and 5 year old boys put them down as they are picky of course. Gonna be heating up the leftovers at work today as well as the wife at hers so you already know, We in NC so coworkers gonna be drooling once it’s heated up in microwave and the smell of Louisiana flavor is in the air⚜️

I made these last New Year's day dinner...back for the recipe for this coming year's dinner. Awesome!!!

Nice looking kitchen. I could do without the other vegetables

Recipe??

This look delish! Do you have a Cajun cabbage video?

I am literally smacking on a bowl right now !!! Peas are AMAZINGGG!! Mouth watering !! JUST GOOD! I can’t stand cooking cause I’m so impatient but I am looking forward to cooking a lot of your dishes you make them so fun. Thank you 💛

My dad who hates black eyes loves when I make this!!

Made this for New Years Day... in 49 years, this absolutely the best Black Eyed Peas I’ve ever had. Geaux Tigers! Who Dat!

Can't wait to cook them! Happy New Year to you and your family!

Thanks for the LOUISIANA TECH S/O! And you cant forget about GRAMBLING! LOL

I’ve made a few Cajun Ninja dishes, and they never disappoint. Made this one for dinner tonight and my husband nearly licked his bowl, and my daughter did! Lol. Thanks for the Deep South recipes!! Like Mawmaw teaching me to cook, only better because you give me measurements not “put some pepper” or “do it till it looks right, cher”

Straight up forgot about Northwestern State! Haha

Which cajun seasoning do you prefer?

Oh my goodness, this looks so good. One of my best friends who passed away this past year used to make some black eyed peas every New Years Eve. I miss that, but looks like I may have to carry the tradition on with this recipe. You should make a cook book!!!!!! Happy New Year to you and your beautiful family too

Now we're talking I love black eye peas

What size pot is that? And where u order from

Louisiana Football is killing it this year!! Geaux Tigers

Thank you for the great videos

I’m gonna use this recipe, but with purple hull peas. I think purple hulls have better flavor. Also I’m gonna try to make your egg rolls got New Years Eve. Do you dip you egg rolls in anything or just eat them straight. Rock on Ninja! ✊

Can't pull for the Saints. Die hard Falcons fan here, but I'm going to whip up your black eyed pea recipe! Happy New Year!

Do you make anything with alligator? I found some 1 pound packages of frozen alligator meat at my local grocery store (Chicago area) and I'm trying to find something to make with them.

I made these two nights ago, and they were off the chain!! I did however make a couple of substitutes. I couldn’t get my hands on any Tasso, so I used original conecuh sausage, and I diced some carrots for color. They turned out perfect. Now time to make the brisket!! Piyahhh!!

Chef the Black Eyed Peas looks good. Will soon be cooking them soon. Keep the recipes and video coming. You the man my brother.

Danggggggg bro. I’m trying your recipe. Those black eyed peas looks really good!!!!!!!!

So glad you're back. I reading about a northern tradition of sauerkraut and porkchops on new year's. Could you possibly try that and put a southern twist on it? That way me and the other fans will have something soon from you. We love you bro.

Can u do shrimp scampi please

Omg, this was an amazing way to cook these! Loved making them this way, & loved your video!

How did you almost die from a bay leaf?🤷🏿‍♀️🍃I had to ask! Good video!👌🏿 love beans!🍛

Can i use smoked turkey?

Forgot about Bobby Boucher and them mud dogs down ner in South Central

Black eyed peas and rice are one of my favorite foods from back in my childhood!! I have a question for you tho, what's the dierence between Creole and Cajun seasonings?? Since my father is from Lafayette, I know more about the Creole spices and cooking and just a little about Cajun faire. Love your channel and look forward to seeing more from you!! Happy New Year to you and your family!!

Another Great Video 👍 Was starting to wonder where you have been.. Love the Black Eyed Peas👍

I guess I'll hit WalMart and get my ingredients and cook this tomorrow! LOOKS GOOD!

Buddy you are making a kitchen revolution. It looks humble but so deep delicious when you get a publix or costco contract come scoop me up because this dish is going all over the earth. I see Fortune 500 knocking on your door with franchise oportunes. Very happy for you bro.

Making this now! Happy New Year to you and your family! Looking forward to more videos.

I’ve lived by your roast beef recipe for months now and this recipe will soon be joining it. I’m assuming the smoked tasso is either Richard’s or Savoie’s?

Definitely looks good my cajun brother! Happy new year to you and your family!
