I devised this recipe after a New Year's Day at a friend's house. She ate black-eyed peas for the good luck, not because she liked them! I challenged myself to come up with something not only edible, but delicious and nutritious as well! It's also deceptively simple (especially if you sub canned black-eyed peas for dried). I hope you like the results! This is delicious as-is or served over brown rice.

Ingredients

1 ½ cups dry black-eyed peas - sorted, rinsed, and drained
3 cups water
½ (1.41 ounce) package baby red potatoes, quartered (or halved if very small)
2 tablespoons salted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 large cloves garlic, minced
1 bunch collard greens - rinsed, trimmed and chopped
½ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
salt to taste

Directions

Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add black-eyed peas and boil for 1 minute. Drain.
Bring 3 cups water to a boil in the same pot and stir in ham seasoning. Add peas and simmer until tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and saute until soft, about 30 seconds. Add collard greens and cayenne; cover and cook until greens are soft, about 10 minutes. Add cooked black-eyed peas and heat through, about 5 minutes. Season with salt before serving.

Cook's Notes:

You can use two 15-ounce cans of black-eyed peas instead of dried, and any other greens of your choice instead of collard greens.

Goya(R) ham seasoning is vegetarian, although good results can also be obtained without it!
