Black Eyed Peas and Collard Greens

Legumes - Black eyed pea - -

INGREDIENTS

1 big package frozen black-eyed peas
1 big package frozen choppped collard greens, or a big bunch of fresh chopped greens
1/4 to 1/3 cup vegan worcestershire sauce
4-6 cups water
3-4 cloves garlic, minced
Salt to taste
1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke
Tabasco sauce

METHOD

Put the black-eyed peas and water in a big pot, bring to the boil and simmer 20-25 minutes. Add chopped collard greens, garlic and seasonings, except tabasco, and simmer for at least 30 minutes, or until peas are soft and greens are cooked well. You can simmer this quite a long time without really overcooking. Add more water if necessary.

Spoon into a bowl and top with tabasco sauce. Good with cornbread.

NOTES

This is a southern staple, without the bacon.

I couldn't find frozen black-eyed peas, so I prepared the dried ones according to the package directions and then followed the recipe from there.
I like to bring this to work with me for lunch. I eat it with spicy tortilla chips--yummy!

When I said "I just follow the recipe from there", I actually should have said that I start it where you add the collard greens...

This sounds like it would go sooo good with some Tortilla chips. Now I'm going to crave some chips and dip all day.
