    I made this recipe last year for our New Year's day black eyed pea and greens meal. It is absolutely the BEST way that I have made black eyed peas, and I have some pretty tasty recipes for them.
    I couldn't find everything that the recipe called for, tasso for instance, so I sub'd smoked ham. I also used andouille sausage instead of chorizo because that is what I prefer, but it still turned out fabulous!
    Anyway, making this again for Sunday! YUM!

    Being from Texas we try and have black eye peas on New Years. I have made this recipe for over 1o years now for a party on New Years Day. Great success, Due to some vegetarian friends, I make it without the sausage and with veggie broth from the box. I almost like it better like that, but either way it is wonderful, We servie it with cornbread and intense greens when it is a main meal, or serve it as a side when my husband does brisket.
