Eaten on New Year's Day in the South, Hoppin' John (black-eyed peas and rice) is said to bring good luck in the year ahead. Although any field pea will work, this adaptation uses pink-eyed peas in place of black-eyed peas and quinoa instead of rice.
== Ingredients ==
* 1 tablespoon olive oil
* 2 3/4 cups chopped onion
* 4 bacon slices, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
* 3 cups fresh pink-eyed peas
* 2 cups water
* 1 cup dry white wine
* 2 garlic cloves, minced
* 1 bay leaf
* 1 1/4 cups fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
* 1 cup uncooked quinoa, rinsed
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
* 2 tablespoons thinly sliced green onions
* 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
== Directions ==
# Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
# Add chopped onion; sauté 2 minutes.
# Add bacon; sauté.
# Add peas and next 4 ingredients; bring to a boil.
# Reduce heat; simmer, partially covered, 30 minutes or until tender.
# Discard bay leaf.
# Combine broth, quinoa, salt, and pepper in a saucepan; bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
