New Years Dinner (Black-eyed Peas Greens Sausage Hash)

Peel and chop onion and garlic.

Rinse the kale leaves well, dry them on paper towels or in a salad spinner. Then, remove the leaves from the thick fibrous stalk. Discard the stalk for this recipe.

CLean the potato and chop it up. I left the peel on but feel free to peel it if you prefer.

Add oil to a large frying pan and add the onion to it. Set the heat to medium and saute onion for about 5 minutes - stirring often so the onion doesn't burn.

Add in the garlic and saute for about 2 minutes.

Push the onion and garlic to the sides of the pan and add in the chopped potatoes. The smaller the potatoes are cut, the quicker they will cook. Sauté potato for about 4 minutes with pan cover on. Remove cover around 4 minutes and stir potatoes, then recover and cook another 5-6 minutes until potato chunks are tender when pushed into with a fork.

As potatoes saute, slice the sausage.

Remove pan cover and push the potatoes to the side of the pan and add the sausage to the middle of the pan and saute sausage for about 5 minutes - uncovered.

Drain the canned black eye peas and rinse them. Then add them to the saucepan with the sausage and potato mix. If you are using frozen black eyed peas, then simply add the frozen black eyed peas to the pan and sauté until the black eyed peas are heated through.

Roughly chop the kale leaves and add it on top of the sauteing sausage. Stir well for about 3 more minutes or until kale begins to wilt a bit.

Garnish with parsley/chili flakes and enjoy!
