Black Eyed Peas for New Year
« on: December 29, 2004, 11:06:42 AM »
Well, I just found Black Eye Peas (dried in a bag) for 49 pence at  Sainsbury's I have my ham and If my memory is correct you soak them in water for 24 hours or overnight ? If anyone has a good recipe please let me know. ;D Thanks, Jerry in Norwich

That's on our menu, too! Here's 2 recipes for Hoppin' John, the first from Gourmet magazine, the second from Emeril Lagasse:

I've got a great one that not only works for luck, but also can be used as a New Year's Hangover Remedy [hair of the dog]. They pack quite a flavor kick!

1 lb. dried blackeyed peas
black and red pepper
dry horseradish
chili powder (add liberally)
quartered onions (about 1 or 2)
louisiana hot sauce
worcestershire sauce
meat (ham bones or bacon slices)
Garlic (optional)

Wash peas thoroughly. Soak overnight in liquid, half water, half beer, to cover. Liquid should be seasoned to taste with pepper, horseradish, chili powder, etc. Add meat. The important note is seasoning 'to taste'. Next morning, put the peas on and cook until tender (may take as long as 4 hours). Do NOT add any more water. Replace any liquid that boils away with beer. Add worcestershire in shakes as cooking progresses. Peas should be covered while they cook.
