I found this recipe on eatingwell.com. Hoppin' John is tradionally made with rice, but barley make it a bit healthier. Eating black-eyed peas on New Year's Day is said to bring good luck and prosperity for the new year.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but otherwise it was very good. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper next time.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think it needed more seasoning, or maybe some additional vegetables. Otherwise, it was a good recipe and the barley was a nice touch.
