Step 3
Add black eyed beans, salt, black pepper and the water to the mixture and stir it through. Bring it to a gentle boil and then simmer for 10-15 minutes with the lid closed on low - medium heat.
Step 4
Add the chopped greens to the bean mixture and cook for about 10-15 minutes or until the greens are completely wilted and cooked through. Stir occasionally. You will notice the cooking liquid has reduced considerably.
