BLACK-EYED PEA AND PORK GUMBO



Black-Eyed Pea and Pork Gumbo image

The chefs Donald Link and Stephen Stryjewski serve this gumbo regularly at Cochon, their Cajun-Southern restaurant in New Orleans. Its ingredients depart significantly from traditional New Orleans restaurant gumbos, which almost never feature pork, legumes or greens, although those norms have changed in recent years, in part due to Cochon's influence. As a rule, when seasoning gumbo, Mr. Link uses just 75 percent of the suggested spice portions at first, then adds the rest as desired according to taste. Since this recipe can produce varying results, depending on whether you're using smoked pork butt from a local barbecue joint or a store-bought variety, home-cooked black-eyed peas or canned, braised collards or mustard greens, Mr. Link's seasoning approach is particularly useful.

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

3/4 cup peanut or vegetable oil
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup diced white or yellow onion
1/2 cup diced green bell pepper
1/2 cup diced celery
2 tablespoons chopped garlic
3 quarts pork or chicken stock, plus more as needed
1 tablespoon gumbo filé powder
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons ground white pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme
1 1/2 teaspoons chile powder
1 1/2 teaspoons sweet paprika
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cayenne
2 bay leaves
1 tablespoon lard or olive oil
3/4 pound okra, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
1 cup homemade or store-bought cooked and drained black-eyed peas
1 cup braised collard or mustard greens
1 1/4 pounds homemade or store-bought smoked pork butt or shoulder, chopped
Kosher salt
Steamed rice or potato salad, for serving

Steps:

  • In a large pot, heat the peanut or vegetable oil over medium-high. Slowly whisk in the flour and continue whisking until the roux turns dark red and begins to turn brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Add the onion, bell pepper, celery and garlic to the roux and cook, stirring, until vegetables are softened, about 10 minutes. Add the stock, dried spices and bay leaves, and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Simmer over medium-low, skimming occasionally, until flavors meld, at least 45 minutes.
  • In a large nonstick skillet, heat the lard or olive oil over medium-high. Add the okra and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
  • Taste the gumbo: It should not be pasty or taste overwhelmingly of the roux. If it does, you may need to add more stock, up to 4 cups. (The strength of starch in the flour can vary.) If you add more stock, start with just a cup, simmer and stir for a few minutes, and taste the gumbo again. Repeat as needed.
  • Stir the okra, black-eyed peas, greens and pork into the gumbo. Return to a simmer, season with salt and pepper and adjust the spices, if necessary. Serve over steamed rice or potato salad.

BLACK-EYED PEA GUMBO



Black-Eyed Pea Gumbo image

This is SO simple, either crock pot or stovetop! A friend of mine served this a few weeks ago on a very cold Sunday and I've made it three times since! Spice it up or tone it down as you like. I like spicy foods so I add a lot of Tabasco? to my bowl! Some people like to add okra as well for the real gumbo look...I hope you enjoy this!

Time 3h15m

Yield 8 small bowls

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (15 ounce) can ranch style black-eyed peas
1 (15 ounce) can ranch style black-eyed peas with jalapenos
1 (14 ounce) can beef broth
1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes (Rotel will spice it up more)
1 lb sausage links (preferably with jalapenos)
1 (4 ounce) can diced green chilies
1 bell pepper
celery (optional)
2 (7 ounce) bags 10-minute Success rice (cooked)

Steps:

  • Slice bell pepper, celery (dice if you prefer) and uncooked sausage.
  • Put all ingredients EXCEPT RICE in a crock pot (this will fill a 3 quart crock pot).
  • Cook on high for at least 3 hours then add cooked rice* and cook for an additional 30 minutes.
  • If you make this on the stove top the cooking time will be approximately 45 to 60 minutes.
  • *I leave the rice out and allow each person to put in as much as they like in their bowl and pour the gumbo over it.
  • IF there is any left over, I add the remaining rice.
  • If it is needing additional broth the next day, I add tomato juice or tomato sauce (juice works the best).

Tips:

  • For a truly authentic gumbo, use a heavy pot or Dutch oven to cook the ingredients. This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the gumbo from burning.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of sausage. Andouille sausage is a classic choice, but you can also use kielbasa, smoked sausage, or even chorizo.
  • If you're using frozen black-eyed peas, be sure to thaw them before adding them to the gumbo. This will help to prevent the gumbo from becoming too thick.
  • Serve the gumbo with rice, cornbread, or a side of potato salad.

Conclusion:

Black-eyed pea, pork, and mustard green gumbo is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It's also a great way to use up leftover pork or ham. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can easily make this classic Southern dish at home.
