Video From the Tropics: Behind the Black Eyed Peas & Authentic Hot Pepper Relish edit

Life Made Simple in Panama, show #7, hosted by Aimee Arnold & Chef Melissa De Leon.

This time we show how to prepare black eyed peas Panamanian style: with smoked pig's tail and freshly made hot pepper relish. Simply delicious!

In history, black eyed peas originated from when the slave were brought over from Africa. Now many people celebrate New Years Day with Black Eyed peas to honor the slaves who fought for freedom. Today many people continue to celebrate this tradition by preparing Black eyed peas for good luck, good fortune and or good change, not only for New Years day, because it is a well loved comfort meal, very economical and easy to prepare.

Enjoy!
Chef Melissa
