SMOKY VEGETARIAN BLACK-EYED PEAS WITH COLLARD GREENS

Smoky Vegetarian Black-Eyed Peas with Collard Greens image

I devised this recipe after a New Year's Day at a friend's house. She ate black-eyed peas for the good luck, not because she liked them! I challenged myself to come up with something not only edible, but delicious and nutritious as well! It's also deceptively simple (especially if you sub canned black-eyed peas for dried). I hope you like the results! This is delicious as-is or served over brown rice.
