Now that Christmas is over, thoughts turn to New Years. Here is a spiced up recipe for a New Years Day traditional dish. Black-eyed Peas are supposed to bring you good luck in the coming year.
1 lb. Black-eyed Peas
10-12 cups Water
2 tbsp. Vegetable Oil
1 large Onion, chopped
1 Bell Pepper, chopped
2 tsp. Cajun Seasoning
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
1 lb. Andouille
1/2 cup Parsley
2 Bay Leaves
Ham bone or Ham hock
Heat oil in large pot on medium-high heat. Add onions and bell pepper. Sauté until wilted, about 5 minutes. Slice the sausage into 1/2-inch pieces and brown in a heavy skillet. Add sausage to the beans. Add the hambone, peas, and seasonings. Add enough water to cover peas and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook one hour or until the peas are creamy and tender. Add additional water if necessary during cooking.Enjoy!!!
