Time 55m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons peanut oil
1 tablespoon butter
1 large yellow onion, finely diced
2 bay leaves
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried chipotle powder or 1/2 teaspoon regular chili powder
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
4 cups frozen black-eyed peas or 4 cups rehydrated black-eyed peas
1 teaspoon salt
fresh ground pepper, to taste
1 cup long-grain white rice

Steps:

  • Melt butter with oil in large, heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, bay leaves, thyme, chili powder and allspice. Cook, stirring often, until onion is lightly browned, about 7 minutes.
  • Prepare rice by your preferred method.
  • Add black-eyed peas to the onion mix; cover with water. Increase heat to medium-high; heat to a boil. Lower heat to a simmer; cover. Cook until peas are just tender, 20-25 minutes, checking pan and adding more water if needed. Uncover; cook over medium heat until water is mostly absorbed, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Remove bay leaves. Serve over rice.
  • Note: I used vegetable broth instead of water. My broth had no salt, if you use a commercial broth, cut down on or eliminate the salt.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of cayenne pepper next time.

This Hoppin' John was a disappointment. The black-eyed peas were mushy and the rice was undercooked. I think I'll stick to my traditional recipe.

I'm not a fan of black-eyed peas, but I made this Hoppin' John for my family and they loved it. They said the peas were cooked perfectly and the overall flavor was delicious. I guess I'll have to give black-eyed peas another try!

This Hoppin' John was a bit bland for my taste. I think it needed more seasoning. I added some extra salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper, and it improved a lot.
