Southern Greens and Beans with Ham Stew

Ingredients:
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, diced
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 8 ounce package 97% fat free, thick sliced ham, sliced into thin strips
6 cups water
1/4 teaspoon liquid smoke
12 ounces quick cooking, refrigerated black-eyed peas (find them in the produce section)

Heat oil in a large pot. Add onion, black pepper, and ham, and saute for 8-10 minutes on medium heat, until onion is golden brown.

Meanwhile, rinse collard greens and remove stems; bunch them and cut them into thin strips.

Add water and liquid smoke to onion and ham, turn heat to medium-high, and bring to a boil (a light broth should develop).

Add black-eyed peas, turn heat to medium, and continue cooking at a gentle boil for 6 minutes. Add collard green strips, cover, and continue boiling for 7 more minutes. Serve with cornbread.

Recipe makes six servings.

This is an official 5 a Day recipe, and provides 6 people with about 1-1/2 servings of vegetables each.
