New Year's Day Black-Eyed Peas
“Growing up in a large family of mixed heritage in the South, it seemed only natural to make things up as we went along,” says Ryan Hardy. “My mother, a Yankee, insisted that it was good luck to have black-eyed peas on New Year’s Day and she’d save the bones from country ham hunks just for that day.” Hardy now serves the hearty peas with garlic-rubbed toasts and garnishes them with generous amounts of freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano.
