This recipe comes from my cookbook A Good Food Day. This dish is a nutritional powerhouse with an intense flavor to match. While this recipe has been vigorously tested, I have a passion for encouraging people to swap ingredients based on what they like, what’s in season, and what’s available.
As mentioned in the cookbook, a version of this recipe exists in virtually every culture. In the American South, black-eyed peas and collard greens are eaten in the beginning of the new year to promote good luck and prosperity. We hope that this recipe fuels your body so you can achieve your goals this year and beyond.
