Twisted Black-eyed Peas Recipe

Twisted Black-Eyed Peas

From kitchengeeking 16 years ago

This is a slight twist on a southern tradition. The chicken broth instead of water adds a great depth of flavor.

Rinse and sort peas and remove any stones. No need to pre-soak.
Dice onions and sautee for 5 minutes in olive oil. Add salt to sweat.
After onions are translucent, add ham hocks and thyme. Stir through and continue to sautee for 3 minutes.
Add peas to pan and cover with broth.
Reduce heat to low and cook covered for 1 hour and 45 minutes at a low simmer.
Remove ham hocks from pot, remove meat from bones, shred, return to pot.
Reseason with salt if needed, season with pepper.

A very good recipe. I'm not all that excited about all the fat on the hocks, but then again I don't have to eat that part.

Pot is simmering now. Added 2 bay leaves and 2 cloves of garlic so if the soup doesn't turn out, it's my fault. Took 12 cups to cover the ingredients and the ham hocks were straight from the freezer so the soup will probably be simmering a little longer.

It would be nice if you told everyone to use a dutch oven or stock pot and the heat setting for the saute, just to cover all bases.
