Eating black-eyed peas on New Year’s Day is a Southern tradition that’s believed to bring luck and prosperity in the coming year. Every year, since I can remember, we have had black-eyed peas on New Year’s Day. I even recall my mother putting a dime in the pot of peas, for added prosperity.
Black-Eyed Peas
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 11 ounces Melissa’s fresh shelled black-eyed peas
- ½ cup chopped onion
- 1 small jalapeno pepper stems and seeds removed, chopped, divided
- 6 ounces Kielbasa sausage sliced in rounds
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 1 ½ cups water
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- On medium-high heat, saute onions, half of the chopped jalapeno pepper and sausage in a 3 ½ quart saucepan until onions are tender; about 5 minutes. Add chicken stock and water, bring to a boil. Add black-eyed peas; return to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 15 to 20 minutes or until tender. Season with salt and pepper. Serve, garnished with jalapeno peppers.
Black-eyed peas are often served with pork, collard greens, and cornbread. Serve over rice for a traditional Hoppin John! Thought I would share my recipe with you as it’s so simple and easy. I use fresh black-eyed peas, you can certainly use dried but you will need to soak or add more cooking time. I really love Melissa’s Black Eyed Peas found in the produce section of your grocery store.
Enjoy!!!
