Did up my usual southern tradition NYD food. Black eyed peas for good luck, pork for health, and greens for prosperity.
Black eyed peas made with smoked sausage, ham, garlic, onion, salt, and pepper. The peas were dry. No need to soak.
Simmer the meats, onion, and garlic.
Add the water and peas, boil, and simmer until thick and creamy. At least 4 hours. I did about 6 or so. Refrigerated overnight and reheated and simmered this morning.
My greens is green cabbage. I simmer some bacon, onion, and garlic. Then, add the cabbage and sliced new potatoes. Season up with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Simmer uncovered on high heat, then cover and simmer on low about an hour. Of course, the longer it simmers and sits, the better.
And the finished product...
All very tasty. Happy New Year!
