Eula Mae’s Good Luck Black-Eyed Peas
“Eating black-eyed peas on New Year’s Day is said to bring you
good luck in the coming year, so we eat as many as we can,” says
Eula Mae. “When I can, I use fresh black-eyed peas, but you can
also use dried ones. Now, remember, this has to cook long and
slow. You want the final result to be creamy and seasoned just
right.” Recipe from “Eula Mae’s Cajun Kitchen Cookbook”
