Black-eyed peas are one of the few truly American good-luck foods for New

Year's Day. Eating them on this day is traditional in the South, where a

coin is sometimes cooked with the peas, foretelling riches throughout the

coming year.

 

Combine all the ingredients except lettuce leaves in a mixing bowl and let

stand, covered, for an hour or 2, refrigerated, before serving, or, better

yet, make a day ahead. Stir occasionally. Before serving, remove the

garlic. Line a shallow serving bowl with lettuce leaves and top them with

the marinated mixture.
