My mom's dad made black eyed peas when she was a child, and she recently taught my daughter how to make this dish for a school project. It is a family tradition to make black eyed peas on New Years for good luck.
Ingredients:
- 3 cups ham, diced
- 1 lb dried black eyed peas, rinsed
- 1 medium onion
- 1/4 cup crumbled bacon
- 1 Tbsp canola oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp oregano
- salt, to taste
Steps:
- Dice up ham and set aside.
- Rinse and drain the back eyed peas.
- Cook and crumble up bacon.
- Dice onion and mince garlic.
- Heat oil in a large pot, then add onion and garlic. Sauté until translucent and tender.
- Add ham and bacon. Brown ham slightly.
- Add oregano and stir to combine.
- Add black eyed peas and 4 cups of water.
- Increase heat to HIGH and bring to a boil. Then reduce heat to MED-HIGH. Cover and cook for 20-30 minutes or until beans are soft. Stir occasionally. Note: Add more water to keep beans covered, if necessary.
- Serve with rice and enjoy!

I also grew up eating black eyed peas. My children also make them for New Years. We add other things as well (sauteed onion, celery and carrot) and serve with corn bread. They are delicious.
