SPICY BLACK-EYED PEAS (NEW YEAR’S STYLE)

— Pois aux yeux noirs, tradition du Nouvel An

Source: The Gilded Table – January Edition

Spicy Black-Eyed Peas (New Year’s Style) are a quiet tradition meant to usher in good fortune, warmth, and nourishment at the start of the year. Simmered gently with aromatics, a bay leaf, and a touch of heat, they’re simple by design — a dish that carries meaning as much as flavor.

Served alone, spooned over rice, or alongside cornbread, these peas are a reminder that the most enduring dishes are often the most modest.
