black-eyed pea and pork quesadillas

This is what all people everywhere should eat on Jan. 2. New Year's dinner in many homes in the South involves pork, black eyed peas and greens. By Jan. 2, everyone is exhausted, and yet somehow still hungry. My sister and I discovered this hearty combination the day after New Year's one year in Seoul. The day before, we'd made pork loin and black eyed peas for two. The next day, after touring around Seoul in freezing weather, we were so cold and hungry we made this from our leftovers and ate it standing up in the kitchen. Now, I actually make it on purpose. But it should be something you can make easily on a weeknight, so long as you have some leftover pork in the fridge and some black eyed peas in in the freezer. I've never in my life thought to write a recipe for black eyed peas. It's like writing a recipe for toast. This'll be a first.
