NEW YEAR BLACK EYED PEAS
A delicious New Year's Eve recipe to bring you luck in the new year! I sometimes just use the ham bone and some of the surrounding meat from the traditional Christmas ham that I make each year, but the ham hocks also add a nice, smokey, rustic flavor of their own.

NEW YEAR'S BLACK-EYED PEA, SAUSAGE & KALE DIP
Although I am not a superstitious person, I call this a New Year's dip because of the "lucky" ingredients. Black-eyed peas symbolize coins and kale symbolizes folded money, which means wealth for the New Year. Also, pork symbolizes progress because pigs root forward and tomatoes symbolize health. Wealth, progress and health in a dip? Yes, please! NOTE: You can easily substitute dried black-eyed peas with canned black-eyed peas to save time.

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your dip will taste. Look for fresh black-eyed peas, crisp vegetables, and flavorful herbs and spices.
- Don't overcook the black-eyed peas: Overcooked peas will be mushy and bland. Cook them just until they are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- Let the dip cool completely before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the dip to thicken up.
- Garnish the dip with fresh herbs, crumbled bacon, or chopped nuts: This will add extra flavor and texture to the dip.
Conclusion:
Black-eyed pea dip is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, snack, or main course. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a new recipe to try, give black-eyed pea dip a try. You won't be disappointed!
