Happy New Year's Eve!!! Healthy good luck black eyed peas & collard greens recipe

 Healthy good luck black eyed peas & collard greens recipe

The peas represent good luck and the greens, because they look like money, represent good fortune and prosperity.

Ingredients:
1/4 c apple cider vinegar
1 t red pepper flakes
1 t olive oil
2-15 garlic cloves (I always use A LOT)
1 piece of bacon
1 can no salt added black eyed peas, rinsed and drained
1/4 c chicken broth
1/2 t dried thyme
1/8 t salt
6 cups coarsely cut collard greens

1) Combine vinegar and red pepper flakes in a microwave safe cup and microwave on high for 30 seconds.  remove and set aside.

2) Heat a large skillet or cast iron pot over medium heat.  Cook the bacon until crispy.  Remove and crumble.  Drain oil.  Add the olive oil and coat bottom.  Allow to warm and then add the garlic.  Cook for about a minute but do not allow to brown.  Add broth, black-eyed peas, thyme, and salt.  Cover and reduce to simmer for 10-15 minutes.

3) Add greens and stir to combine.  Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until the greens wilt.  Remove from the heat.

4) Spoon on to dinner plates & drizzle with red pepper vinegar.

5) ENJOY!!!
