I made Hoppin John's yesterday for the first time and it was outstandingly delicious! We had leftover Honey Baked Ham and used that as the hock.

Here's the recipe for anyone interested:

Hoppin John

1 1/2 cups of dried black-eyed peas (I used 2 cups because the package was 16oz)

1 onion chopped (I sliced mined and sauteed it in a half stick of butter along with about 7 cloves of chopped garlic)

1 pound ham hocks (leftover Honey Baked Ham)

1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (I just used one packet of crushed red pepper we get from the pizza parlor)

salt and pepper to taste

4 cups water

1 1/2 cups long-grain white rice (I steamed some Jasmine rice separately)

1 cup shredded smoked Cheddar cheese (didn't use any cheese)

Brought the beans to boil in water by themselves, then let them simmer for about 25 minutes.

Sauteed onions, garlic, crushed red pepper in a half stick of butter (Medium heat until garlic turned light brown)

Drained the beans and rinsed them in cold water, then placed the sauteed onions, garlic and pepper into the crockpot, then the ham. Added the bean and about 3 1/2 cups of water...then cooked it for about 6 hours. The flavor of the red crushed pepper came through into the black-eyed peas! So full of flavor!

Served with corn bread.

Oh lord. I might have to try this recipe. And ur right: gotta have corn bread!

glad I'm not going to be around stupidstitious, I mean superstitious people and have black eyed peas served to me...yuck!

I am not superstitious by any means, I didn't even know black eyed peas are meant to be fortunate during NYD; being a new immigrant I am trying to learn American culture and cuisine, one of the youtube channels I subscribe to showed hoppin John the other day and said its a traditional thing to do on NYD, so I will follow through.

I don't think black eyed peas are yuck, if you don't like it, you don't. There is no need to call others stupid.

#######... husband just handed me a NEW YEAR's EVE MENU, with a huge on his pretty redheaded face. He named it "Los Mejores de Len 2010" - aka Len's Best. Even if it was cute and flattering, it will slave me in the kitchen from tonight until tomorrow night. Darn
