Mema's Black-Eyed Pea Dish

Submitted by lucky ladybug

"A family-favorite way to eat those black-eyed peas at New Year's. Serve over rice or, even better, cornbread. I sometimes use Ro-tel for the diced tomatoes for an extra kick. Cook the day before to allow flavors to meld."

Talk about down home country fixins -- this dish hits the mark! Being from Texas, I grew up on country food and this dish is great as a side or as a main course with a veggie. I used rotele vs. the regular tomatoes as the recipe mentioned and we loved it!!! I will definitely be making this dish again. Made for PAC, 2011. Thanks for the post.
