re: How are you cooking cabbage & black eyed peas for New Year's

Not much of a cabbage fan but I do eat it on New Year's Day. Here's how I do it:

Cook about 4 strips of bacon. Remove from pan. Slice up a medium sized onion and mince some garlic. Saute in the bacon grease until soft. Take a small head of cabbage and cut into wedeges. Add it to the pan, stir it around a bit, and then put a lid on to steam it until done (stir occasionally). Crumble the bacon and add to the dish.
