You read my mind - I was just searching for a good black-eyed pea recipe for 2008 (I usually end up making a box of Zatarain's Black-Eyed Peas & Rice, boxed cornbread, and a can of Allen's Southern-Style Seasoned Greens for New Year's - time for a change!)

Mmmmmmmmmmmmm......Sounds great. Almost the same way I cook my black eyed peas. We are gonna have them, cornbread, collard greens and ham. mrspotatohead ought to try the southern/ozark way of cooking huh? LOL

I may not be southern but black eyed peas are a must for New Years day.

Sounds great. I never ate black-eyed peas till I moved down south 20 years ago. I have to say I love them, and collard greens too. I never realized what I was missing. Thanks for the recipe.

An absolute must for New Year's day, along with the collards, cornbread and fried apples. I make mine with smoked turkey wings to cut some of the fat and it isn't as unctuous but it still has that smokey flavor that I crave. I love black eyed peas. Anyone hooked on Trappey's brand with green chiles added? Love those for a quick supper.

Happy New Year! and thanks for a wonderful new way to fix black-eyed peas. I am enjoying a bowl of them this morning January 1, 2008!
