New Year's Day Stew
 
 
I have done this the two day way and I have made it in one day.... I have also made it using canned beans.... (this way will increase sodium levels GREATELY) THE BEST way to do this... and only way I do now... is the two day method!
 
1 lb    bag of black beans  
1 lb    bag of black-eyed peas  
1 lg    onions  
2 tsp    Salt  
  Black and red pepper to taste  
2 Tbs    Chopped garlic  
1 lb    boiled ham round (1 inch thick by about 8 inches wide)  
2 lg pkg    hog jowl sliced and fried crispy. Or cubed and fried even better  
1 Bag    collard greens. (if you cant get fresh)  
1 lg head    cabbage  
2 pkg    sliced portabella mushrooms* optional  
  Tabasco or Texas Pete to taste  
 
New years eve:
1 put the peas and beans on to cook in 6 qt crock-pot. (10 hour setting) add one large onion sliced but not separated. (For easier removal) Add ham (cut into 1in cubes) crumbled/cubed hog jowl, garlic, salt and pepper to taste. Allow cooking till beans are tender and ready to eat.
New Years day:
1 remove onion pieces that you can see. Then, add cabbage when there is just enough time before serving for the cabbage to cook tender but not mushy. Add mushrooms, I slice them into pieces about 1 inch cubes like the ham then spinach. Once it is all heated through serve with sliced fresh onions, sweet corn bread and sprinkle with shredded sharp white Vermont cheddar cheese.
