    List of Ingredients




    1 lb. dried black eyed peas
    1/2 lb. salt pork, cubed
    1/2 lb. cooked ham, cubed
    1 large onion, chopped
    3 garlic cloves, minced
    1 ham bone
    1/4 tsp. (more to taste) crushed red pepper
    pepper to taste
    3 C cooked rice

    Recipe



    Rinse peas and pick over, removing any small stones or foreign particles. Cover with cold water in a large pot, bring to a boil for a minute, remove from heat cover and let sit for one hour.

    In a large skillet, saute the salt pork to render fat, add onion and garlic and cook until onion is soft, about 5-6 minutes. Add the onion mixture along with the ham bone and seasonings to the pot with the peas. Add enough water to cover the ingredients and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook for about 1- 1 1/2 hours or until black eyes peas are tender but not mushy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

    Serve over hot cooked rice.
