Black Eyed Peas With Garlic And Kale

This is the recipe i always make for new year's day. So many black-eyed pea recipes include ham, which you could add to this one, but we don't miss the meat because of the robust flavors of the kale, garlic and vinegar. This is one of the recipes you don't have to worry about measuring too much. Sometimes, i'll use more kale and fewer beans, if i'm serving this along with a meat main dish. In fact, i'll leave the black-eyed peas out entirely, if i want a light side dish.

Steps

Pull the kale leaves from the tough stems.
Discard the stems and tear or chop the leaves into small.
In a large pot , boil about 2 inches of water , then add the kale.
