1. Start with the black-eyed peas.
2. When they are almost done and starting to simmer, work on cooking up the collard greens.
*Add cornbread for an authentically complete meal. We don’t add if ourselves, as we feel there is plenty of carbohydrates with just these two recipes.
Prosperity. Luck. We all could use a bit more in the New Year and black-eyed peas signify all of it. Ham or bacon supposedly adds ‘positive motion forward’ since the pig is a front footed animal, but leaving it out and adding a dash of smoked paprika is tasty (and dare I say: lucky!) as well. Dry black-eyed peas take about 20-30 minutes to cook, but if a can of beans is easier for you— go for it.
Saute hearty winter greens such as kale, chard, or collards with a splash of oil until they wilt and sigh into tenderness.
