Savory black-eyed peas and rice with ham, bell peppers, onion, garlic, paprika, and bay leaves - perfect for a flavorful New Year's Day feast.

Ingredients:

1 cup dried black-eyed peas
1 cup lean diced ham
0.5 cup chopped green bell pepper
1 clove garlic, minced
2 pinches paprika, or more to taste
3 cups cooked rice

Instructions:

In a large container, soak black-eyed peas in cool water, ensuring they are covered by several inches. Allow them to stand for 8 hours or overnight. Drain and rinse well before using.
In a pot over medium heat, sizzle ham in olive oil until nicely browned, around 5 minutes. Stir in onion, green bell pepper, and garlic, cooking until onion is soft, for about 10 minutes. Toss in black-eyed peas, water, bay leaves, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cover with a lid and gently simmer until peas are tender, for 40 to 50 minutes. Enjoy the flavors melding beautifully!
Discard bay leaves from the black-eyed peas mixture and fold in the rice. Allow to simmer until all the liquid has evaporated, for an additional 5 to 10 minutes.
