Eating peas and greens on New Year’s Day is a Southern tradition that promises to bring good luck (from the peas) and fortune (courtesy of the greens) for the coming year. But don’t save this nourishing combination for one day a year; it’s delicious anytime, especially with warm cornbread to soak up all the flavorful cooking liquid (or potlikker). Here’s to a happy and well-seasoned year.

If you prefer to use dried peas in this recipe, simmer them with a few bay leaves until they’re just tender, then drain and cool in a colander until needed. For the best flavor, taste the broth just before serving and add additional hot sauce, vinegar, or black pepper as desired.

Directions

Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the bacon and sauté until it’s lightly browned and has rendered about half of its fat. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined place.
Add the onion and garlic to the same pot and cook, stirring, until softened and fragrant, 6-7 minutes. Add the greens, the Potato Slayer and Onion Butter seasonings and use two wooden spoons to stir and toss until the greens are combined with the vegetables.
Add the bacon, wine, and mustard, turn the heat to low and simmer, stirring every now and then, until the greens are tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in the peas, vinegar, and hot sauce. Bring the mixture to a lively simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce to low and simmer for another 10-15 minutes, or until the peas are tender. Serve in shallow bowls, and pass the hot sauce.
