Looking for a Black Eyed Peas Recipe? Delicious Ideas from Food Network Chefs
Cooking with and eating black-eyed peas on New Year’s Day, often with ham or other pork products, has been a tradition for centuries, believed to bring prosperity for the coming year. Bonus: legumes like black-eyed peas (little white beans with a black spot that make them resemble an eye) are among the most nutrient-dense foods you can eat, high in fiber, protein, vitamins and minerals and low in fat, so a dish of black eyed peas is a great way to kick off a healthy new year.
Fortunately, legumes are making a comeback – you’ll see them in vegetarian and meat-based dishes year-round on restaurant menus, in food magazines and on TV cooking shows. Here are some fantastic black-eyed pea recipe ideas from your favorite Food Network Chefs to ring in 2011 and help keep you well fed throughout the year.
