--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1      pound         dried black-eyed peas
   1      large         onion, peeled and finely chopped
   2      tablespoons   oil
   1      teaspoon      garlic salt
   1      teaspoon      oregano
   5      cups          chicken stock
   8      cups          hot cooked rice

Soak peas overnight with water to cover by 2 inches.  Drain peas and set
aside.  In large Dutch oven, saute onion in oil until transparent; add peas,
seasonings and chicken stock.  Cover and cook slowly until peas are tender,
about 30-40 minutes.  If made ahead, cover and reheat.  For each serving,
serve 1/2 cup of peas over 1/2 cup rice.
