This green-hot chili packs a wollop, but you can serve it with plenty of tortillas and some cool guacamole. It gets its color from the combination of fresh green peppers–sweet bell peppers and hot chile peppers.

Black-Eyed Peas with Slab Bacon and Tasso
Black-eyed peas are a traditional New Year’s Day dish (they’re supposed to bring good health and good luck), along with smothered cabbage (to ensure wealth) and pork roast and cornbread.
Abel and Jo’s black-eyed peas are creamy and wonderfully peppery, and the two meats make a good contrast in taste – the slab bacon with the peas is delicious, and then the bites of tasso and peas are a completely different taste treat.
(Abel was the eighth child born to the Prudhomme family. He and his wife, Jo, shared this recipe in The Prudhomme Family Cookbook.)
