This delectable dish is perfect for your New Year's celebration
because it includes the two traditional ingredients: black-eyed
peas and cabbage. The tradition states that black-eyed peas bring
good luck and cabbage brings financial good fortune.
Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 pound cubed ham
- 1 pound sliced smoked sausage
- 1 cup diced onions
- ½ cup diced celery
- ½ cup diced bell peppers
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 1 medium head cabbage, chopped
- 1 (14.5-ounce) can stewed tomatoes
- 1 (15.8-ounce) can black-eyed peas
- 1 cup uncooked white long grain rice
- 1 cup water
- Creole seasoning to taste
- salt and pepper to taste
Method:
In a 5-quart Dutch oven heat oil over medium-high heat. Add ham,
sausage, onions, celery, bell peppers and garlic. Stirring often,
cook 5-10 minutes or until ham and sausage are browned. This browning
process gives the finished dish its golden-brown color. Add cabbage,
tomatoes, black-eyed peas, rice and water. Stir until well combined.
Season with Creole seasoning, salt and pepper. Cover and cook, stirring
occasionally for 35-40 minutes or until rice is tender.
