Cook onions. Add remaining veggies. Simmer slowly. Add spices and herbs. Serve.

Or make a shepherds pie - cooked peas, with mixed veg in a tom sauce, topped with mashed pots and cheese.

Or a curry.

2 ideas - stick them in a HM soup to add bulk, I've just made a "leftovers" soup with a tin of tomatoes, a tin of black-eyed beans, carrots, chestnuts and onions and some stock from our New Year's roast goose (omit for veggie option, obviously). Also, cook them, mash them up with minced onion and grated cheddar, make into patties, egg/flour/breadcrumb them and shallow fry for black-eyed beanburgers. This was a staple when I was a penniless student!

Hi,
my mum used to make vegetable soup with spinach and black eyed beans. Just cook together the vegetables you use for stock (carrot, celery onion) with spinach and soaked beans. It was one of the best soup she made.
