lack eyed peas cooked with onion, bacon, dry mustard, and other ingredients.

Ingredients:

2 cups dried black-eyed peas, rinsed, and soaked
1 medium onion, finely chopped
6 slices bacon, 1-inch dice
1 teaspoon dry mustard
salt
freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup preserved ginger, chopped
3/4 cup honey

Preparation:

Drain and rinse the beans; cover with fresh water and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat and simmer for about 45 minutes, or until tender. Add water to keep them from drying out, if necessary.

Preheat oven to 325°. In a heavy skillet, saute onion and bacon over medium heat until onion is golden and bacon is crisp. Drain off fat and stir bacon and onion into beans. Add mustard and salt and pepper, to taste. Add ginger; combine well. Turn into a 2-quart baking dish; drizzle with the honey. Cover and bake 1 1/2 hours. Remove the cover the last 30 minutes to brown the top.
Serves 4.

Lucky for New Year's, good anytime, Member joanalang

Served at a New Year's brunch, for the good luck that eating black-eyed peas is said to bring, this unusual recipe was a huge hit. I used diced ham instead of bacon, and molasses to taste instead of honey, and diced crystallized ginger. Even people who said they normally don't like black-eyed peas went back for seconds and wanted the recipe.
