What You'll Need
- 1/2 cup diced country ham
- 2 (15.8-ounce) cans black-eyed peas, rinsed and drained

- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley or 3 teaspoons dried parsley
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 to 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

What to Do
- Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray, and place over medium-high heat until hot. Saute ham 3 to 5 minutes, or until lightly browned; stir in black-eyed peas and the water. Reduce heat to medium and simmer 8 minutes, or until liquid is almost evaporated. Partially mash beans with back of a spoon to desired consistency.
