Traditional Southern US New Years Day meal, halal style: Black Eyed Peas and Greens. I served with couscous.
I've posted the spinach recipe before.
1/2 cup raw bulgur
2 Tbs olive oil
3-4 garlic cloves
1/2 large sweet onion, thinly sliced
1-14 oz can diced tomato
2 cup dried black eyed peas, soaked then cooked until tender
Cilantro
Cumin
Turmeric
Cinnamon
Paprika
Dried orange peel
(I didn't measure the spices/seasonings)
Boil 1 cup of water. Pour it over the bulgur in a heatproof container. Cover and let stand until the water is absorbed, about 30 minutes.
Heat the oil in a wide skillet. Add the onion and saute until golden, then add the garlic and saute until it is golden too. Add the canned tomato with liquid, followed by the cooked black eyed peas and the bulgur.
Season to taste. The seasonings I used are listed above. Try something between 1/2 tsp and 2 Tbs of each. I cook by smell.
Simmer 5-10 minutes, or until there is not excess liquid.
Tasty.
Happy New Year
