Beans and Grains

2 c Black-eyed peas,dried 2 qt Water,more if needed 1 Ham bone with 'trimmings" 3 Onion,medium,chopped 2 Bay leaves 1 1/2 ts Salt 1 t Pepper Wash the beans well in cold water several times, then place in a large, heavy stew pot and cover with water. Allow to soak overnight. The next morning (start early ~ beans like to take their time), pour off the soaking water, and ham bone, 8 cups of water, onion and seasonings. Put on the back of the stove and let simmer gently until beans are very tender, usually about 4 hours. Add more water if needed. Remove and discard ham bone. If the water looks a bit scant pour in 1-2 cups more. When beans are good and tender remove about a cupful of the beans and mash well with some of the bean liquid. (This can be done in a blender, of course.) Return mashed beans to pot, taste for seasoning, and serve steaming hot over freshly cooked white rice.
