Time 3h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 cups finely shredded napa cabbage
1 (8 ounce) can sliced water chestnuts, drained
1 pound ham hocks
⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 bay leaves
½ teaspoon Cajun seasoning
salt to taste
1 quart chicken stock
1 (10 ounce) package frozen black-eyed peas
1 ½ cups basmati rice, well rinsed
3 cups water

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a deep pan or stockpot set over medium-high heat. Stir in the onions and garlic, and cook until transparent, about 5 minutes. Mix in the Napa cabbage; toss and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Add the ham hocks, cayenne pepper, bay leaf, Cajun seasoning, and salt, stirring for 2 minutes more. Pour in the chicken stock and black-eyed peas. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cook uncovered for 2 hours.
  • Meanwhile, place the rice and water into a saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until all liquid is absorbed and rice is light and fluffy, about 20 minutes.
  • Before serving, remove the ham hocks from the pot. Coarsely chop the meat, and return to the black-eyed pea mixture. Serve hot over Basmati rice.
