Tips
It's a good idea to soak the peas for a few hours before cooking. This helps soften the beans and reduce the cooking time.
It’s very important to cook the peas over low heat. Otherwise, you might end up with peas that are not evenly cooked.
At the same time, make sure not to overcook the peas. If the peas are overcooked, there’s a good chance they will break apart and turn into mush.
If you prefer a thicker broth, you can mash some cooked crowder peas with a spoon. This will help thicken the liquid and create a creamy texture.
