Black-eyed Peas and Ham Hocks image

This recipe is in response to 'cutelittlerocker's' request for anything Southern. It is my Mom's recipe, and she was from Arkansas. A portion of the peas may be mashed once cooked, then stirred together with the whole peas and shredded ham hock for a creamier consistency.

Time 2h

Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 cups water
1 pound dry black-eyed peas
2 smoked ham hocks
salt to taste
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 bay leaf

Steps:

  • Rinse dried peas thoroughly, sorting any tiny pebbles or other debris.
  • In a large stockpot, bring 3 cups of water to a boil with black-eyed peas, ham hocks, salt, pepper, and bay leaf. Reduce to a simmer and cook, uncovered, 1 1/2 hours, or until peas and ham hocks are tender. If ham hocks require further cooking, simmer in water in a separate pot until meat is easily pulled from the bone.
  • Cool ham hocks and remove all meat from the bone. Stir ham into the peas, adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed, and serve.
