Happy New Year Collard Greens and Black Eyed Peas

Heat oil in a large, heavy pot over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook until softened, 5 minutes. Add carrot, green onion and garlic and cook for a few minutes more. Add seasonings and spices and cook until fragrant.

Next add collard greens in batches and allow to wilt down. Pour in broth, water and beans and hot sauce. Bring to a boil and then lower the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes.

Taste and add salt if necessary. I was unable to find low sodium beans so I did not have to add salt. The smoked paprika is the key ingredient, I think.

Serve over some rice and enjoy!
