Good Luck Recipes

Each new year is approached with fresh eyes, lofty resolutions, and phrases like turning over a new leaf. Still year after year, we return to the same traditional meal the night before Jan. 1 — collards, cornbread, and black-eyed peas. Let’s bring some new life into the black-eyed peas as we venture into 2023.

Good Luck Recipes

Dried beans are undeniably the cheapest option but the most time consuming to prepare. Because the natural moisture has been removed, they require the extra step of soaking to rehydrate before cooking.

Dried

If you’re lucky enough to get your hands on fresh black-eyed peas at a farmers market, be sure to use them quickly or freeze until ready to use. Fresh peas do not need to be soaked, so skip right ahead to the cooking portion.

Fresh

To cook the beans, begin with soaked or fresh peas. Place 1 cup of beans and 6 cups of water in a pot. Here is where you can begin to get creative and infuse flavors into the beans.
