BEST EVER BLACK-EYED PEAS

A Southern Classic! In most Southern homes, black-eyed peas are always served on New Year's Day for good luck. I usually cook these early on New Year's Eve day. That way, if we have guests over for a party that night, I can use part of this basic recipe to make "Texas Caviar" which is a fantastic salsa/dip to eat with tortilla chips. (that recipe follows)

Steps:

Rinse, pick over, and place the peas in a large bowl. Cover with several inches of cool water; let stand 8 hours to overnight.
Pour the water into a large saucepan or soup pot. Add the bouillon cubes and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally to dissolve the bouillon. Stir in the peas, reduce heat, and bring to a simmer.
Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate. Crumble the bacon and set aside.
Melt the butter in the pan with the bacon grease; cook and stir the onions until they begin to turn brown at the edges, about 10 minutes. Stir the onions and cooking fat into the peas; add the crumbled bacon, ham, and salt and pepper to taste. Simmer the peas over low heat for 8 hours, stirring every hour.

Rainbow Power Greens Salad with Black-Eyed Peas. In their natural state, black-eyed peas are more of an earth tone ingredient. But when you combine them with purple cabbage, shredded carrots, and vitamin K–rich greens, you get a colorful (and nutrient-packed) salad that will leave you feeling supercharged for the rest of the day.
Hoppin' John Skillet. Hoppin' John is a traditional New Year's food, most recently from South Carolina but with deeper roots in West African cuisine. It's said to bring about luck and prosperity for the year ahead, as the beans are supposed to bring coins to mind.
Pasta with Garlic Scape Pesto, Bacon, and Black-Eyed Peas. For food lovers, a groundhog's prediction isn't the true sign of spring. The real seasonal changeover happens when garlic scapes, the long, thin tendrils that grow out of garlic heads, pop up in farmers' markets.
Texas Cowboy Caviar. When you've had enough spinach artichoke dip and guacamole to last you for the year, Texas caviar is the way to go. It's a combination of canned beans, corn, and fresh herbs that definitely counts as a salad.
BBQ Tofu Bowl with Collard Greens. If you put the South in a bowl and made it both vegan and gluten-free, this is what you'd get. It's a combination of smoky barbecue-marinated tofu, steamed collard greens, cooked rice, and beans whose deep flavor belies the small amount of time and effort involved.
Greek Black-Eyed Pea Salad. Go Greek for lunch with this lemon-dressed salad. Sun-dried tomatoes, feta, and Kalamata olives give the dish serious Mediterranian vibes—plus, you'll learn a method for cooking the black-eyed peas that'll result in perfectly tender (and not mushy) beans.
Instant Pot Bean Soup. There are 13 types of beans in this soup recipe. If that sounds overwhelming, you can get by with just a few different types, but we're partial to the inclusion of black-eyed peas, which go well with the tuscan kale and tomatoes that round out the main flavor profile.
Vegan Black-Eyed Peas Deep Dish Pizza. Lasagna, Hoppin' John, and a deep dish pizza walk into a bar . . . and the punchline is this recipe. With thyme tofu ricotta, multiple layers, and a crispy crust, it's the best of all possible worlds—executed in an all-vegan way, no less.
One Pot Turkey and Rice Bowl. This recipe calls for only a handful of ingredients, and is perfect for those "need food now" weeknights when just can't be bothered to cook.
African Black-Eyed Pea Salad. Black-eyed peas are a prominent ingredient in African cooking, and this Senegal-inspired dish is a shining example as to why.
