Steps:

• Toss vegetables together in a medium bowl.
• In a medium saute pan, heat the butter and water together over medium heat. Add the vegetables to the pan and turn the heat to medium high. Toss the vegetables, by gently moving the pan back and forth over the flame. Cook the vegetables for 3 to 4 minutes, or until heated through. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the vegetables to a serving bowl and serve immediately.
• Cook the vegetables in 1 to 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil or butter, without the water. Do this over high heat and brown and crisp the vegetables slightly.
• Add 1 to 2 teaspoons of minced garlic, minced shallot, a teaspoon of grated peeled fresh ginger to the pan before adding the vegetables. - Enhance the vegetables at the end of cooking with a tablespoon or so of minced fresh herbs, like chopped flat-leaf parsley, dill, mint, basil, cilantro, or thyme.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it generously. Fill a large bowl with ice water, and put a colander or strainer in it. Add the vegetable to the boiling water and cook, uncovered, until crisp tender, or the desired degree of doneness. Scoop the vegetable from the water and immediately put them in the ice water, to stop the cooking and set their color. Cool and drain, and use as desired. When blanching a mix of vegetables, don't cook them together since they may not all cook at the same time. Start with the lightest colored or mildest flavored vegetable, and blanch and refresh each vegetable, one after the other, until cooked as desired.

• Place beans in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil.

Steps:

• First cook the black-eyed peas (no pre-soaking required!) by placing the garlic and oil in a pot and simmer until lightly browned.
• Pour in the water and black-eyed peas, mix well. Add the seasonings.
• Cover the pot and let it cook for about 30-45 minutes, or until the peas are tender but not mushy.
• For the greenbeans, if using canned, just rinse and drain. For fresh/frozen, just steam them to their desired consistency. I like them kinda soft but other people may like them chewier.
• While the peas are in their last 10-15 minutes of cooking time, preheat the oven to 350°F.
• In a 2-qt baking dish, mix the mushroom soup and yogurt together.
• Blend the soy sauce in next.
• When the soy sauce is incorporated in the cream sauce, add the spices.
• Drain any excess water from the black-eyed peas and put them into the baking dish, mixing well.
• Mix the greenbeans in too.
• Top with french-fried onions and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the cream sauce is bubbly.
