1. Let them soak.

Place your beans in a large bowl and add enough water to cover by at least 10cm. Let them soak overnight.

2. Let them simmer.

Drain your beans from the soaking liquid and give them a quick rinse under cold water. Place beans in a large pot and cover them with 10cm of chicken stock. Simmer, covered, for about 1 hour. Start checking after 45 minutes to see of they are tender and add more stock or water as necessary to keep them covered. Add in a ham bone if you have one for even better black eyed beans!

3. Dress them.

Once your black eyed beans are tender you can season them up and add any extras you want. Add some spinach or other greens during the last 5 minutes or so and season with some salt, pepper, and any other favourite seasonings!
