You can cook the black-eyed peas up to several days ahead, if desired.
Save time by preparing the other ingredients while the peas cook.
Place the soaked or fresh black-eyed peas in a saucepan and cover with
water by at least 2". Bring to a boil, turn the heat way down, and
simmer, partially covered, until tender - about 30 min. Drain and set
aside.
Melt the butter in a soup pot or Dutch oven. Add the onion, mustard,
half the garlic, half the ginger, and half the salt. Saute over med heat
for about 5 min. Stir in all the mushrooms and saute for a few minutes,
then ad the sherry. Cover and cook over med heat for about 10 min.
Add half the squash and all the water. Bring to a boil, then lower the
heat to a simmer, and cover. Cook for about 10 min, then add the
cinnamon, lemon juice and vinegar along with the black-eyed peas, the
remaining garlic, ginger, squash, and salt. Cover again, and cook over
low heat until the most recently added squash is just tender, about 20
min.
Season liberally with freshly ground black pepper, and taste to see if
it needs more salt. Serve hot, topped with very finely minced parsley
and/or scallions, if desired.
