It is said that black eye peas will bring you good luck & prosperity if eaten on New Years day--well if that's the case I've got you covered. I served it for my family with a delicious pan seared salmon topped with stewed tomatoes made with the leftover frozen tomatoes from the garden over the summer. HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Serves 10-12
1 lb black eye peas, rinsed and picked over (2 cups)
10 cups water
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoon brown sugar
4 tablespoons organic ketchup, optional
4 tbs green seasoning
1 large tomato
4 scallions
1 large onion
6 cloves garlic, grated
Hot pepper, optional, to taste
1 carrot, peeled and cut into ¼ inch dice
¼ lb pumpkin, peeled and cut into small cubes, optional
1 red bell pepper, chopped
2 celery stalks
4 sprigs thyme
2 teaspoons brown sugar, optional (to finish dish)
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 pimento peppers, crushed
1/2 cup chopped scallion parsley or cilantro, for finishing
Pick through black eye peas, rinse with cold water, drain.
In a medium pot over high heat, add water and black eye peas. Once it comes to a boil reduce heat to medium, cover and cook until tender but still whole, about 40 minutes.
In a separate pot, heat oil over medium heat. Add brown sugar and allow it to froth, bubble, expand and darken.
Add ketchup if using, green seasoning, tomato, half of the chopped scallions, onion, garlic, hot pepper if using, carrot, pumpkin, bell pepper, celery and thyme. Season with 2 tsp salt and 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper. If it begins to stick and ½ cup hot water.
Reduce heat to low, cover and cook for about 15 minutes. Stir in black eye peas, reserving liquid, and cook for 3 mins. Add liquid from the boiling process and add more liquid if required. Stir for 1 minute.
Add the remaining chopped scallions and 1 tsp more salt(or according to your taste). Bring to a boil, reduce heat to simmer, cover and cook for about 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally until the liquid thickens.
Taste and add salt if required, brown sugar(optional), chopped herbs, pimento and freshly ground black pepper to finish.
