Try these 20 Black Eyed Pea Recipes to Rock your New Year in 2020!
I may get a little side-eye for even having the gumption to make a statement like this, but black eyed peas just aren’t my favorite thing in the world. Honestly, if black eyed peas fell off the side of the earth I wouldn’t be the least bit sad about it. That may sound a little harsh, but they’re not the most flavorful of the legume family and they’re certainly not winning any brownie points with me for visual appeal either. For whatever reason, us southern folk feel the need to force ourselves to eat a heap of them on New Year’s Day for good luck, prosperity and because our Mama told us to, but I have a feeling I’m not alone in my distaste for them.
Truthfully, they wouldn’t be so bad if they just has a little more va-va-voom. You know, a little zing to them. They always end up looking a little slimy cooped up on the side of my plate on New Year’s Day, and I’m always left wondering exactly how many black eyed peas I need to consume before I get all the good luck points.
This year I’m making it a point to revive the black eyed peas on my plate by incorporating them into a dish in a unique way! I’ve searched Pinterest up and down for a little inspiration, and these 20 Black Eyed Pea Recipes are at the top of my list to try this year to spark a new love between me and the black eyed pea!
