NEW YEAR'S DAY BLACK-EYED PEAS
Black-eyed peas are easy to overcook, so go slow and steady when simmering, and don't forget to taste often to check their doneness. They should be creamy but retain their shape.

Steps:
- Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large saucepan over medium. Add bacon, if using, and cook, stirring occasionally, until some of the fat begins to collect in the pan and bacon starts to look shiny, about 5 minutes. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and tender, about 5 minutes. Add thyme sprigs, garlic, black-eyed peas, and 8 cups cold water and bring to a simmer over medium-high. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer gently, skimming any foam from surface, until beans are tender, 35-45 minutes. Discard thyme; season with salt.
- To serve, drizzle beans with oil and top with thyme leaves and some pepper.
- Do Ahead
- Beans can be cooked 3 days ahead. Let cool; cover and chill.
