Ingredients

Black eyed peas

Ham

Zucchini

Asparagus

Onion

Tomato

Salt

Black pepper

Tomato paste

Brown sugar

Garlic

Directions

Rough chop 1/2 onion

thick slice 2 zucchini

cube 1/2 pound ham

Saute in a skillet w/ olive oil and chopped garlic till onions are slightly opaque; approx. 5 min

In a large stock pot put 1 pound black eyed peas, 1 large can of chopped stewed tomatoes and ham bone if available.

Add sauteed ingredients and cover peas w/ about 2-3" of water

Cover and bring to boil then simmer till tender, about an hour to hour and a half. Check water level occasionally and add more if needed.

Season peas w/ black pepper, kosher salt, brown sugar and tomato paste to taste after they are tender. Do not season before they are done or the flavors will change on you and you'll have to fix it.

Slice 1/2 bunch asparagus into 1" cuts and add to the peas approx. 15 minutes before you serve.

This recipe freezes well so double the amount and save for later, especially if you are cooking for a family.
