Slow simmered black-eyed peas and ham hocks - a comforting Southern classic with tender pork and soft peas.
Ingredients:
  • 1 pound dry black-eyed peas
  • 2 smoked ham hocks
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions:
  • Thoroughly wash black-eyed peas, removing any pebbles or debris.
  • Combine black-eyed peas, 3 cups water, ham hocks, bay leaf, pepper, and salt in a large stockpot. Bring to a boil, then simmer uncovered for 1 hour and 30 minutes until peas and ham hocks are tender. If needed, simmer ham hocks in water in a separate pot until meat is tender and easily pulled from the bone.
  • Chill the ham hocks and separate the meat from the bone. Put the ham meat back into the pot. Remove the bay leaf and season with salt and pepper.
