Hoppin' John: Serves 8
Hoppin' John: Serves 8
This classic black-eyed pea dish is served throughout the year in the South, but especially on New Year's Day to bring good luck. 4 slices bacon, diced 1 onion, diced 1 red bell pepper, diced 1 pound frozen black-eyed peas 4 cups water 1/2 cup diced ham 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 teaspoon thyme 1 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon pepper 1 1/2 cups [dry] instant brown rice In a large saucepan, cook bacon over medium heat for 4 to 5 minutes, or until crisp, stirring occasionally. Stir in onion and red bell pepper and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, or until vegetables are tender. Add black-eyed peas and water, and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Cover pan, reduce heat, and simmer for 35 to 40 minutes, or until black-eyed peas are almost tender, stirring occasionally and adding extra water as needed. Stir in ham, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper and simmer for 15 minutes, or until flavors are blended, stirring occasionally. Stir in rice and simmer for 10 minutes, or until rice is tender (no stirring needed). Serve warm. |
