Spinach with black-eyed beans

A complete meal, this spinach and legume dish is nourishing and delightfully simple. Serve hot or cold. I will be serving it cold tonight with Cajun snapper and a crisp salad with fresh basil, tomatoes and goat cheese.
Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups black-eyed beans, soaked for 1 hour
• 5 tbsp olive oil 
• 1 large onion peeled and finely chopped
• 2 bunches fresh spinach chopped or 1 bag/container frozen chopped spinach, thawed.
• fresh ground pepper

Soak the beans for 1 hour. Then put in pot, cover with water and bring it to boil. Simmer about 20 minutes but be careful....they should not turn to 'mush' for this dish. Drain.

Meanwhile heat the oil in a frying pan and saute the onions until they are translucent. Add the spinach and continue to fry stirring continuously until cooked...Add salt and pepper to taste and then stir in the drained black eyed beans. I love this served cold as a side dish.
