Steps:
- To prepare the black eyed peas: Place a 2-gallon stock pot over medium heat. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and add the garlic and green chile, saute until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the black eyed peas, ham hocks, bay leaves, and water. Simmer for 45 minutes until the beans are tender, stirring when you think about it. Wait until halfway through cooking to begin seasoning with salt and pepper. You want the flesh of the bean to break down a little bit so it can penetrate the inside. Drain the black eyed beans and shred the ham hocks; set them aside to cool.
- To prepare the vinaigrette: Puree the tomato, chipotle, sugar, citrus juices, and zest in a blender until smooth. Pour in 1/4 cup of olive oil and puree again until emulsified and slightly thickened.
- To prepare the shrimp: Put the butterflied shrimp in a glass bowl and add the ancho powder, lime juice, half of the cilantro, and a drizzle of olive oil; tossing to coat. Marinate for 15 minutes while heating up the grill. Place a large grill pan on 2 burners over medium-high heat or preheat an outdoor gas or charcoal barbecue and get it very hot. Brush the grates with oil to keep the shrimp from sticking. Remove the shrimp from the marinade and season with salt and pepper. Lay the shrimp on the hot grill and cook 4 minutes on each side until charred and firm.
- To serve: Combine the black eyed peas, shredded ham hock meat, green onions, tomatoes, jalapeno, and the remaining cilantro in a large salad bowl. Add the grilled shrimp and vinaigrette; toss the salad well to incorporate all the ingredients and season with salt and pepper.
- This homemade chili powder will add a smoky depth to chili and as a dry rub for steaks. Toast the ancho chile pieces over low heat in a dry skillet until fragrant, shaking the pan so they don't scorch. Put the chiles in a mini food processor and pulse to a powder. Add the remaining ingredients and buzz again to combine.

BLACK EYED PEA SALSA
I first had this salsa at a house warming party served with tortilla chips. It was the first thing to go, everyone loved it. I found it's an excellent side to grilled pork tenderloin. I've served it cold and hot; I think it's good both ways but my husband did not like it as much hot. It's a very healthy dish and a great way to get your veggies in for the day. It's one of the recipes that I actually like black eyed peas in.

Steps:
- To make the salsa, combine the peas and water in a medium-size saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, until the peas are tender, adding more water if needed to keep them covered, about 1 hour. Drain and let cool.
- Place the peas in a bowl and add the onion, grapefruit, oranges, jalapenos and cilantro and toss lightly. Add the lime juice, olive oil, 2 teaspoons salt and pepper and toss. Set aside.
- To make the fish, combine the cornmeal, 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper in a shallow dish. Coat the fillets in the cornmeal. Spray both sides lightly with the olive oil. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add the fillets and cook until just cooked through, about 3 minutes per side.
- While the fish is cooking, cut the avocado in half lengthwise and remove the pit. Cut the flesh lengthwise into thin slices and carefully scoop them out of the skin. Season the fish with salt and pepper to taste. Place 1 fillet on each of 4 plates. Spoon some of the salsa across each fillet. Fan the avocado slices over the salsa and serve immediately.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the final dish. Look for fresh, plump pompano fillets, black-eyed peas, and citrus fruits.
- Properly season your fish: Season the pompano fillets generously with salt and pepper before cooking. This will help to enhance the natural flavors of the fish.
- Cook the fish carefully: Pompano is a delicate fish, so it is important to cook it carefully to avoid overcooking. Cook the fish until it is just cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Make sure the black-eyed peas are cooked properly: Black-eyed peas should be cooked until they are tender but still hold their shape. Overcooked black-eyed peas will be mushy and unpleasant.
- Use a variety of citrus fruits in the salsa: The citrus salsa is a great way to add brightness and acidity to the dish. Use a variety of citrus fruits, such as oranges, grapefruits, and limes, to create a complex and flavorful salsa.
Conclusion:
This pompano with black-eyed peas and citrus salsa is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a summer meal. The fish is delicate and flavorful, the black-eyed peas are hearty and filling, and the citrus salsa is bright and refreshing. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
