Black-eyed peas

by Don  

Ready in: 1hr 45mins
Serves: 8

Ingredients

  • 1 (16 ounce) package dried black-eyed peas
  • 6 cups water
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1⁄2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 ham hocks or 2 cups cooked ham, cut into small cubes
  • 1 -2 jalapeno pepper, seeds removed and chopped

Method

  1. Sort and wash peas; place in a large Dutch oven.
  2. Add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil.
  3. Cover, reduce heat and simmer for 1- 1 1/2 hours, or until peas are tender.

2017-12-26: The seasoning on my Dutch oven apparently had gone rancid. Don't cook is such an event. It will cause your dish to fail. Gross. I threw it all out.

2017-12-27: Cleaned up my Dutch oven. Followed the recipe. Alas, the ham hocks available in my local Fry's Grocery are nowhere near as meaty as the ones I saw on YouTube. Next time I'll just use a pound of fried bacon. This batch is edible, though.
