Black-eyed Peas and Collard Greens

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

    1 big package frozen black-eyed peas
    1 big package frozen choppped collard greens, or a big bunch of fresh chopped greens
    1/4 to 1/3 cup Worcestershire sauce
    4-6 cups water
    3-4 cloves garlic, minced
    salt to taste
    1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke
    tabasco sauce

Directions:

This is a Southern staple, without the bacon.

Put the black-eyed peas and water in a big pot, bring to the boil and simmer 20-25 minutes. Add chopped collard greens, garlic and seasonings, except tabasco, and simmer for at least 30 minutes, or until peas are soft and greens are cooked well. You can simmer this quite a long time without really overcooking. Add more water if necessary.

Spoon into a bowl and top with tabasco sauce. Good with cornbread.

Serves: a bunch

Preparation time: 1 hour or so

This was great!!  Incredibly satisfying.  And it filled the New Years Day Hoppin John requirement.  Even the meat-eaters liked it.

THE RECIPE IS GOOD BUT NEEDS MORE SEASONING.

I know I shouldn't have, but I fried an onion up and added it to mine.  I skipped the liquid smoke, and added about 1/2 cup of A1 sauce to mine.  It was very good.
