    Great side dish - we had it with our BBQ, the leftovers were great for lunch too.

    Very tasty. Used a tin of mixed beans and half a tin of kidney beans rather than the black eyed beans. Went down a storm at our BBQ. Next time I'm going to add some mushrooms and some other veg as I think it would make a fab, super healthy, main meal.
