Never? That's a sin, dear. SIN.
But you may have just saved yourself from eternal damnation, so you
can relax now :)
My recipe for black eyes:
Usual bean prep if using dried. Saute onion and chiles in a pot in
butter or bacon fat (usu. method is to add bacon, naturally). When
softened, toss in beans and enough water to come 1 inch above beans.
Cover and simmer until done. S&P to taste when beans are done.
Often, as done for red beans, some folks like to mash up some of the
beans and stir to make the liquid thick. I add a bit of thyme
sometimes. Often leave out the meat (a sin in itself) and make it
vegetarian.
Damn, I like beans. Time to eat...
