Black-Eyed Peas and Tomatoes 

Bringing you luck and a tasty treat on New Year's Day.



Ingredients






3 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup onions, diced
3-4 cloves garlic, minced
2 (10 oz.) pkg. frozen black eyed-peas, thawed
1 (16 oz) can stewed tomatoes, drained
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste


Directions




1. Combine the onions and oil in a small saute pan, with a lid. Cook the onions, covered, over low to low-moderate heat for 20-30 minutes. Stir occasionally. The onions should be translucent, lightly golden and most of the liquid will have evaporated.
2. Add the peas and the canned tomatoes, including the tomato liquid. Bring to a boil. Cover the pan and simmer over low heat for 20 minutes. The peas should be tender and the sauce should have thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
