A long standing Southern tradition is to make hoppin' johns--black eyed peas (good luck) and collard greens (wealth), traditionally cooked in ham to ring in the new year. My dad always made this for us, and I decided to cook some up. I put the peas and greens in a pan on the stove and sauteed with Frank's hot sauce, broth, butter, and quite a bit of salt and pepper (greens are bitter!) until they were soft and tasted good. Here's hoping for a prosperous 2015!
