    Black-eyed Pea Chili With Collards and Mini Maple Corn Muffins

    Dec 29, 2014 ·

    I'm not a very superstitious person, but I still hold on to the New Years traditions from my childhood of eating collard greens and black-eyed peas on New Years Day, but this year I'm changing the way I prepare those greens and black-eyed peas.  I'm making Black-eyed Pea Chili and Maple Corn Muffins.
    According to tradition, black-eyed peas represent tiny coins and greens being the color of cash, both symbolize wealth and financial rewards in the new year.
    I'm not sure if it will bring you wealth, but it will help you hold on to what you have, since they're both fiber rich, filling foods, that are inexpensive to prepare.
    In addition to saving you money these foods can keep you healthy. Collards can help lower cholesterol levels and protect against cancer, just be sure not to overcook. They are best steamed or sautéed just until the leaves start to wilt, which is how I prepared them for this dish.
    Black-eyed peas are high in fiber, potassium, which aids in lowering blood pressure, and they're a good source of protein.

    Add a side of these moist, delicious, hard to resist Maple Corn Muffins, and you'll have yourself a magnificent New Year's Day meal.

    I wish everyone a Happy and Healthy New Year!

      yum this looks yummy. I learned about this southern tradition a few years ago. Usually collards and black eyes peas are full of fat and pork. Love that this is a chili instead.

      What a great recipe! As a father of 3 ages 8 , 10 and 14, it is so hard to get everyone to eat especially as I have only been cooking for about 6 months now with the Vegan diet. We just finished dinner and everyone loved the black-eyed peas! Thanks so much. I'll be back to peruse more on your blog. Thank you very much for sharing.
