Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

4 cups fresh black-eyed peas -- or 2 10-ounce packages frozen

3 cups water

1 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon butter or vegetable oil

2 garlic cloves -- minced or pressed

1 cup chopped onions

1 cup chopped fresh beet greens, collards,

chard, or spinach -- optional

1/4 cup tamari soy sauce

1/3 cup molasses

1 teaspoon dried mustard or a good quality prepared

mustard

 

Bring the salted water to a boil in a saucepan. Add the black-eyed peas. Cover

and return to a boil, then lower the beat and simmer until just tender, about 15

minutes.

 

Saute the garlic and onions in the butter or oil until the onions are just

translucent. If you choose to add greens, mix them into the onions and continue

to saute until the greens wilt. Mix together the soy sauce, molasses, and

mustard and set aside. Drain the black-eyed peas, saving a cup of the liquid.

 

In the saucepan, stir together the drained peas, the sauteed onion mixture and

the molasses-soy sauce. Cover and simmer on very low heat for 10 to 15 minutes,

stirring frequently. During this simmer there is some danger of sticking or

scorching, so either use a " waffle " (see Appendix) or watch closely, adding a

little of the pea stock if the sauce becomes too thick.

NOTES : Southerners have a special fondness for black-eyed peas. This treatment

has a decidedly New England twist, but the distinctive flavor of the black-eyed

peas still comes through. Black-eyed peas are traditionally served on New Year's

Day to ensure good luck, and we ain't just whistlin' Dixie.
