Recipe Notes

I love all three of these ingredients together. Usually I wait and have them for my New Year’s Day meal, but this stew says you can have pork, black eyes and greens any time. The prep takes a few minutes and there’s so little effort you can make this stew any day of the year.

"Hope
Smiles from the threshold of the year to come,
Whispering 'it will be happier'..."
