Those both sound good! I like the Ehtiopian flavors with coconut milk. I always make a hoppin’ john salad , with crab when I can.

Which tried and true recipes do you recommend for black-eyed peas?
That looks good. Peas and greens in the same dish!
Sounds familiar and I think I will try that. I have some Rancho Gordo dried black eye peas I want to use.
Since I’ve been in California, I expect fresh black eye peas, and crab to go with. That will be a different thread.
I made some red beans from Ranch Gordo Sangre de Toro (I think) a few days ago.

This recipe is from a slow cooking website - but can be done on top of the stove or, in an instant pot, with adjustments to the time… I have cooked it all three ways, successfully.
I do not puree part of the peas (as she does) because I like them whole and to have the broth clear. If you leave the beans whole you will need to reduce your pepper amount to 1/4 tsp. (And I also tend to use turkey kielbasa, but use whatever floats your boat.)
Lastly? I just use water instead of canned broth as I really liked the taste of the peas. To me, it doesn’t need the broth.

I grabbed a bag of black-eyed peas to try this Indian recipe: https://healthyslowcooking.com/black-eyed-pea-curry-with-spinach-from-indian-instant-pot-cookbook/
@shrinkrap yours sounds even better - wish the babe tolerated spicy food better. I will have to make my own de-chilied berbere…

It was really good. My pickiest eaters liked them, and barely "warm " to my taste. You can use aromatic peppers with no heat, like Aji dulce.

The berbere I have from Penzey’s has tons of cayenne

Oh! I get mine from Whole Spice. . I see it lists chili as the first ingredient, but it doesn’t seem like it’s cayenne. Maybe I “blew out my palate” (as they say on cooking competitions).
Your recipe looks good. Let me know how it turns out!
