I have recently been diagnosed with Diabetes 2. Although black-eyed peas have a low glycemic index and plenty of fibre and nutrients, it still contains some carbohydrate...but in moderation, not a scary amount at all. I will have this recipe for breakfast with sour dough pittas. I really do like the earthy moorish taste, but next time, I will put in some more lemon juice. Thank you for this useful recipe!!

I had a similar recipe at restaurant recently. My husband raved about it. This recipe was so easy to make and my kids and husband love it.
