Ingredients

Recipe Description: 

This recipe is one of my favorites from Dr. Neal Barnard's Program for Reversing Diabetes. Not only is this book a tremendous resource for diabetes and weight loss, but it also includes delicious recipes that are very low-fat and high-fiber. 

Black-eyed peas with sweet potatoes and greens also has a beautiful presentation. I like to serve it on top of piping hot grits.
