Recipe by Executive Celebrity Chef DOMINIQUE SOLOMON
Executive Celebrity Chef Dominique Solomon kicks it up a few notches with her amazing, full-of-flavor recipe for black-eyed peas. It is so special, that she only whips it out at New Year’s.
Black-eyed peas are known to symbolize good luck, good fortune and prosperity. “My clients and I love to welcome all the good health, fortune and prosperity we can get,” says Solomon. “Just when you think you had it all with the good fortune and prosperity in the mix, black-eyed peas are the perfect addition to many healthy recipes, such as dips and salads. They contain dependable sources of nutrients, antioxidants and folic acid — which is linked to a lower risk of heart disease, colon, lung, prostate and cervical cancer, depression, dementia and neural-tube birth defects in newborns.”

People in search of an excellent New Year’s recipe will be certain that they’ve stumbled upon some good luck after eating these black-eyed peas! For more information on this healthy, flavorful recipe, and many others, visit www.incrediblechefproductions.com
