    This is the closest I've found to my grandmother's basic recipe. We have it every New Year, traditional food for good luck! Nowadays I use either canned black eye peas or if available, fresh ones in the produce section. Variations: diced tomatoes, rice, red pepper flakes, sub in smoked Kielbasa - 12/26/13
