A key part of African-American \u201csoul food\u201d, black-eyed peas and collard greens are a typical New Year\u2019s Day dish that is considered good luck: black-eyed peas symbolizing coins and the greens symbolizing good \u2018ole hard cash.<\/p>\n

Inspiration for these Greek-Style Black-Eyed Peas<\/h2>\n

This dish, we recently tried and enjoyed a number of times on the island of Rhodes in Greece. In Greece, pomegranates symbolize prosperity rather than black-eyed peas, but as we discovered, they love these beans nonetheless. Not actually a pea, black-eyed peas are actually beans\u2014and are found on Greek menus as \u201cblack-eyed beans\u201d. I am yet to see \u201cchick beans\u201d on a menu\u2014yes, chickpeas as also beans. All of which categorize under \u201clegumes\u201d\u2014peas and beans.<\/p>\n

\"Greek-Style<\/a>
\nAs a little appetizer, we started with a plate of black-eyed peas drenched with balsamic vinegar and olive oil\u2014absolutely delicious. It\u2019s light, lovely and has a perfectly harmonious bean flavor-pairing with the crunchy red pepper, green onion and fresh parsley. I added the red onions and a touch of garlic. Yum!<\/p>\n

Preparing the black-eyed peas:<\/em>
\nIn a large pot, soak the black-eyed peas overnight in plenty of cold water to cover generously. You can easily cook more beans than you need and store them in the refrigerator for later use. They will keep this way for about 5 days in the refrigerator. Enjoy!<\/p>\n
