New Year’s Eve Black Eyed Peas

20130611-221549.jpg

New Year’s Eve Black Eyed Peas
Here’s what you’ll need:
1/2 cup dried black eyed peas
1 Tbsp butter or other cooking oil
1 tsp salt
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1 small onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 green pepper, chopped
1 15 oz can diced tomatoes

Here’s what you’ll do:

  1. Place beans in a large bowl and cover with water. Make sure there are about 2 inches of water over the beans because they will plump up! Leave soaking for 6-8 hours.
  2. After the beans have soaked, strain and rinse.
  3. Heat butter or oil in a pot over medium heat. Add chopped onion and garlic and cook, stirring often, until the onion is translucent.
  4. Place beans in pot with the onion and garlic. Add 1 cup water, salt, paprika, oregano and thyme. Cover pot and bring to a boil.
  5. Once boiling, reduce heat and let simmer for one hour, stirring once every 15 minutes.
  6. In the last 15 minutes of cooking, stir in green pepper and tomatoes (you can add them earlier, but I wanted the pepper to be al dente)

Makes 6 side dish servings.

Serve with collard greens and cornbread for luck in the New Year.
