Black eye peas and collard greens on your stove for the New Years for “Wealth & Prosperity”!!! Not sure if it’s true but it’s something that I was raised with and I always do it

[alexanderivory-brown]

We eat black peas for the New Years first meal to bring in the year with the hope of prosperity and peace… after cleaning the house for the New Years as well. It’s a black American tradition.

AB, you know you can burn, I like how you simplify all your dishes. I am 76 years old, so I know how to fix some black eye peas and collard greens but you make it sound and look so easy and delicious. Continue to make things simplified for the beginners and you help us old people sometime too. May God continue to bless you and your family for the new year I am so happy I ran up on your channel you are an excellent chef, not a cook but a chef. I can see you on the food network . Peace!!! 😋

The only thing that I do differently is to add 3 cloves of garlic, also add your favorite - garlic butter, and a medium-sized smoked ham hock. DEE-licious!!

Great BLACK EYED PEAS AB! The older people taught me that black eyed peas on New Year’s Day meant GOOD LUCK and a young lady at work today also reminded me that any GREEN VEGETABLES 🥬 means MONEY all year as well! 😊 Personally I just like how they taste all year long! 😋😋

This white girl whose not a very good cook yet has learned so much from you this year. I love how you explain why you do all the things you do because it really helps. Happy New Year to you and your family. Please don't stop making these videos.

Nothing like some good black eyed peas and some butter beans in the winter 😋

[nakitatillis]

We make black 👀 peas on New Years to bring in prosperity for the year. I understand it's a hoodoo tradition but yall can let me know if it's just tradition or a cultural thing.

[rhondagillespie]

Black eyed peas is luck and greens money. All my life we have had this every New Year ❤️❤️❤️

[misslucky]

I like my black-eyed peas with sweet, stewed tomatoes...yummy!!!

[beulahisrael]

Oooo weeee!! I love our heritage and culture.

[RellupNorth]

Happy New Years my black people!!! The black eyed peas are for good luck. Wealth and health 2022 and beyond

I’m a Ghanaian of the Erveh/Ewe tribe. My people brought the cultivation and consuming of black eye peas to not only the Ghanaian culinary culture, but it was also popularized all across the West Afrikan Coast by many of our kinsfolk who settled in the Yoruba lands, Benin and Togo.

In fact I smiled all through your video because, you proved my late grandmother ‘👑Akuyo Mansa’ right, about those stories she told us under the Afrikan moonlight, about the Sons and Daughters of Afrika in the the Americas and Islands being of Hebraic descent. 🤔 Seeing how important cooking this dish for the New year is to my people in the American diaspora, made me realize that nobody can obscure who you Truly are.
In Ervehland, this dish is prepared and eaten thick, drizzled with spiced palm oil and pre-toasted or instant cassava grits, aka ‘gari’, with a side of fried ripe plantains…

Our history runs deep as a people, and no amount of oppression and revisionist history can ever change that.
🤗Just watching you cook these beans so thick like an Erveh tribesman and using the recipe we call ‘Veh-yi’ in the Ewelands of West Afrika was astonishing.
The seasoned meat is surely an American adaptation but I know you are aware that Afrikans brought these beans to the Americas.

These wonderful beans sustained us on our Journey from the land now called Israel, where we Trekked after decades of invasions, which led us to flee and settle in Abyssinia (Ethiopia), then in the Nile Valley, Msraem (Egypt) Aka Keme also spelled Kemet, and thence to Mali, Sudan, then finally settling along the Gold Coast of Afrika. I am not preaching the so-called Hebrew Israelite doctrine at all, because my people owned that land long before 1946 when that nation was created.
If you want to hear anything closest to the most ancient form of the Hebrew language in this world, speak to any West Afrikan of Erveh/Ewe origins.

During our Exodus from the land now being fought over (which still sits on Mother Afrika’s tectonic plate), we were the only tribe obsessed with growing and harvesting these same beans my people hold so dear in the USA as a bringer of good fortune and that is because, it sustained our, Afrikan Ancestors centuries ago, after the people now known as the Jews and others like the Assyrians, left us no option but to flee after decades of invasions.

My parents are Ghanaian and believe it or not, the most authentic Hebraic history, language, and culture can be found along the West Afrikan Coast aka ‘ The Gulf of Guinea.’
I hope you are not overwhelmed by my comment; but I had to do this because the evidence was far too glaring to ignore…
We are not Israelites but rather the descendants of the real owners of that land being fought over…
Have a very happy and prosperous New Year.
🙏🏾👌🏾

I love to make mine with the ham bone left over from Christmas. The salt from the ham is perfect. I’ve used a honey baked ham bone too and that adds a smoky sweet and salty flavor to it. My great grandmother used to add okra on top but I don’t like mushy okra so I don’t do that. I have never started with butter and onion so I’m going to try that this year. Love your videos!

[dracodawnstars]

Love black eye peas. And this recipe is amazing and easy. Will be making these for the traditional New Year's Day dinner.
Pork chops (symbolizing to look ahead at the future, because a pig can't look back).
Collard greens (symbolizing good fortune and money).
Black eye peas (symbolizing to see a good future).

[peteday]

That looks amazing.... I need to start this tradition for my kids....never too late to do that, especially with great food...

[saundrawhite]

Happy New Year AB! Love following your recipes. Black eyed peas (as my mother told me) are for good luck & collard greens are for prosperity (money)

[ValarieEdwards]

Got up at 3:30 this morning to start my greens (3 kinds) and my beans. Prosperity to all of you in the New Year!

[TREWHIT]

I've never seen black eyed peas that thick but I bet it's bangin'! You're gonna make me hit the supermarket in the morning.
