An easy spicy dish. Adjust the spices to your needs - less Creole Seasoning if you like it mild, add chili powder or cayenne pepper for more kick! This is also good with salsa on top. You can substitute 1/2 pound dried black-eyed peas, cooked for the canned black-eyed peas if you wish.

HOPPIN' JOHN -- RICE AND BLACK-EYED PEAS
I have heard all my life that one should eat black eyed peas on New Year's Day for good luck throughout the new year. It wasn't until I was in my early twenties that my father changed the dish from black eyed peas to Hoppin' John as our traditional New Year's Day good luck meal. It's simple, po' foke's food, and I love it any time of the year. In the directions, I will include substitutions to make this dish vegetarian/vegan. Some history of the dish can be found here --http://members.aol.com/RSRICHMOND/hoppingjohn.html -- It would seem most people cook the rice and peas seperately, and then combine the two to serve. That's how my dad does it. I wanted to cook the flavor of the black eyed peas into the rice. So, this recipe strays a little from the norm, in that I cook the rice with the peas already in the pan.

Steps:
- In a 4 qt or pan brown bacon and cook onion in bacon grease until the onion is transparent. ** For vegan, omit bacon and use approximately 1/4 cup of vegetable oil to cook onion.
- Add uncooked rice, black eyed peas (with juice) and water to your bacon onion mixture. Mix well. **For vegan add liquid smoke at this point to replace the smoke flavor that would have been added by the bacon.
- Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to medium.
- When the tops of the bursting bubbles of boiling water are all of the liquid that can be seen above the rice, remove the pan from the heat and cover.
- Wait at least twenty minutes, WITHOUT PEEKING!
- Don't do it. You'll loose precious heat and steam.
- Serve with bread of your choice, or with the veggies of your choice and plenty of hot sauce. Of course, the variety of hot sauce you choose will depend on your tolerance for heat. If you would like, this could be served as a side dish, as well.

Steps:
- If using dried peas, rinse and soak overnight in water to cover by 3 inches. Drain, and place in a 6- to 8-quart pot with a 1/2-pound piece of the andouille, the ham and the stock. Heat to boiling, then reduce to a simmer. (If using fresh or frozen peas, boil the stock first, then add peas, the 1/2-pound piece of andouille and the ham. Return to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.)

Simmer dried peas for 2 to 2 1/2 hours; fresh or frozen for about 30 to 45 minutes. In both cases, the peas should be tender and the liquid should begin to thicken.

BLACK-EYED PEAS WITH MUSTARD GREENS AND RICE
Adapted from: "Vegetable Soups from Deborah Madison's Kitchen". "A homey Sunday-night sort of soup that makes no pretensions to being hoppin' John or any other southern dish but simply a bowl of delicious nourishment. I've found that frozen black-eyed peas take as long to cook as dried ones that have been soaked--a good hour and a half. Brown butter mixed with roasted sesame oil has a vaguely meaty flavor, which isn't detectable as either butter or sesame." "Smoked Spanish paprika stands in for the smoky flavor of bacon or ham."

Steps:
- Melt the butter in a wide soup pot over medium heat and let it brown for several minutes until it smells nutty.
- Add the sesame oil, then the onions, bay leaves, celery, garlic, thyme, chile flakes, smoked paprika, cumin and celery leaves.
- Cook stirring occasionally, until the onions have browned, about 20 minutes.
- Stir in the tomato paste, then add the beans (drain them first if you used soaked dried), 2 quarts water, and 1 tsp salt.
- Simmer, covered, until the beans are tender. Taste for salt and season with pepper.
- Cut the mustard greens off their stems and wash them. Simmer in salted water to cover until tender, a few minutes, then transfer to a strainer, rinse with cool water, and chop. Stir them into the beans.
- Taste once more for salt and season with plenty of pepper.
- Add a few spoonfuls of rice to each bowl and serve with Tabasco, Crystal, or other favorite hot sauce on the side.
TOFU WITH RICE AND BLACK EYED PEAS
I converted this from a chicken ricipe and eliminated most of the fat as well. It has a slight bite to it from the red pepper flake and a hint of chicken from the seasonings. An excellent choice if you are vegetarian or just trying to reduce calories and fat while increasing nutrition.
