BEST EVER BLACK-EYED PEAS



Best Ever Black-Eyed Peas image

A Southern Classic! In most Southern homes, black-eyed peas are always served on New Year's Day for good luck. I usually cook these early on New Year's Eve day. That way, if we have guests over for a party that night, I can use part of this basic recipe to make "Texas Caviar" which is a fantastic salsa/dip to eat with tortilla chips. (that recipe follows)

Categories     Side Dish     Beans and Peas

Time 16h35m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 pounds dried black-eyed peas
12 cups water
8 cubes chicken bouillon
1 pound bacon
½ cup butter
2 large yellow onions, chopped
1 pound cooked ham, cut into bite-size pieces
salt and black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Rinse, pick over, and place the peas in a large bowl. Cover with several inches of cool water; let stand 8 hours to overnight.
  • Pour the water into a large saucepan or soup pot. Add the bouillon cubes and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally to dissolve the bouillon. Stir in the peas, reduce heat, and bring to a simmer.
  • Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate. Crumble the bacon and set aside.
  • Melt the butter in the pan with the bacon grease; cook and stir the onions until they begin to turn brown at the edges, about 10 minutes. Stir the onions and cooking fat into the peas; add the crumbled bacon, ham, and salt and pepper to taste. Simmer the peas over low heat for 8 hours, stirring every hour.

Tips:

  • Choose the right beans: Use dried black-eyed peas for the best flavor and texture. If using canned beans, rinse them thoroughly before using.
  • Soak the beans overnight: Soaking the beans overnight helps to soften them and reduce cooking time. If you don't have time to soak the beans overnight, you can quick-soak them by boiling them for 1 minute, then removing them from the heat and letting them sit for 1 hour.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what gives the black-eyed peas their delicious flavor. Be sure to use a marinade that is packed with flavor, such as the one in this recipe.
  • Cook the beans until they are tender: The beans should be cooked until they are tender but still hold their shape. Overcooked beans will be mushy.
  • Serve the beans warm or cold: Marinated black-eyed peas can be served warm or cold. They are a great addition to any meal, and they also make a great snack.

Conclusion:

Marinated black-eyed peas are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. They are a great source of protein, fiber, and vitamins, and they are also a good source of antioxidants. Whether you serve them as a side dish, a main course, or a snack, marinated black-eyed peas are sure to be a hit.
