We love this New Year's dish staple with creamy, buttery black-eyed peas and steamed rice. PS: It's also delicious any other time of the year, too.

SERVING SIZE

4

INGREDIENTS

1 cup black-eyed peas, soaked overnight, drained and rinsed (we used Llano Seco black-eyed peas)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 onion, chopped (white or yellow)

1 green bell pepper, chopped

3 celery stalks, sliced

2 garlic cloves, diced

3 cups vegetable, chicken or beef broth (we used 1/2 beef and 1/2 chicken)

bay leaf

1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme, removed from stems and minced

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

2 cups steamed white rice

2-3 green onions, sliced

salt and pepper to taste

 

INSTRUCTIONS

Soaking the beans overnight not only reduces the cooking time, but results in a more evenly-cooked bean.

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion, bell pepper, celery and garlic and cook 4-5 minutes, until softened. Add the beans, broth, bay leaf, thyme and cayenne and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook 25-30 minutes, or until the beans are soft. Season to taste with salt and pepper if needed.

Serve over steamed white rice and garnish with green onions. (Hot sauce would be good, too)
