List of Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 lb bulk sausage, variety of choice
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 large onion, chopped
1/2 lb smoked kielbasa, cut into 1" pieces
1 bay leaf
2 teaspoons dried thyme
2 cups dried black-eyed peas, picked clean and rinsed
2 (16 ounce) cans chicken broth
1 bunch (about 1 lb) collard or greens of choice
Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes to taste
1 teaspoon liquid smoke Recipe
Heat a large pressure cooker over medium-high heat. Add the oil and saute the onion until translucent. Add the bulk sausage and brown, stirring to get it nicely crumbled. Add the kielbasa and garlic, bay leaf and thyme, the black-eyed peas and chicken broth. If needed, add enough additional water to cover the ingredients by 2 inches. Bring the contents to a boil over medium-high heat using only the regulaer lid. In he meantime, wash the greens thoroughly, trim off the thick stems and ribs, and remove any discolored spots. Stack the leaves and roll them up cigar-fashion, from top to bottom. Cut the leaf roll into 1-inch strips. Add the greens when the liquid begins to simmer pushing the down until the begin to wilt. Lock the lid into place. Bring to 15psi over high heat then lower the heat to maintain the pressure. Cook for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and use the natural release method to open the lid. If the peas are not done to your satisfaction, return to high pressure for another 2 minutes. Next, stir in the liquid smoke and adjust seasonings to taste. Serve the Hoppin' John on a deep plate next to a mound of hot fluffy white rice with a big square of cornbread to sop up all that "pot liquor.
