Black-Eyed Peas with Ham Bone or Ham Hock image

This was a common dish served when we were growing up, especially on new year's. Mom would always make these black eyed peas, soft-fried potatoes, cornbread and sliced fresh vegetables. One of my favorite meals to this day. These internet pictures are examples of this recipe.

Time 3h45m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb dried black eyed peas
1 ham bone or ham hock
2 qt chicken or vegetable stock
1 medium onion, chopped
1 Tbsp chopped garlic
1 tsp ground black pepper
1 tsp tony chachere's creole seasoning
salt to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Sort the beans and remove any stones or bad beans. Rinse with cold water and set aside.
  • 2. In a stock pot, Bring ham bone or ham hock and 1 quart of stock to a boil; simmer for 1 hour before starting to cook beans.
  • 3. Add the black-eyed peas into pan with pork and add the other quart of stock and enough water to cover the beans by 2 inches.
  • 4. Add black pepper, onion and garlic. Bring back to a boil and simmer 1-1/12 hours or until beans are tender. Add salt. (If you are using ham hock, omit the salt. The ham hock will give the peas a more complex flavor and enough salt.)
  • 5. Allow beans to rest for @ 30 minutes before serving.

This recipe was a disaster! The black-eyed peas were overcooked and the ham bone was too salty. I had to throw the whole dish away. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The black-eyed peas were a little bland and the ham bone didn't add much flavor. I probably won't make this recipe again.
