CREOLE BLACK-EYED PEAS AND RICE



Creole Black-Eyed Peas and Rice image

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



Hoppin' John -- Rice and Black-Eyed Peas image

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.

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 lb bacon, cut in 1/2 inch pieces (I use a whole package)
1 medium onion, medium dice (a larger one is ok)
2 (15 ounce) cans black-eyed peas, with juice (1 qt if you cook your own peas)
2 cups uncooked rice
3 cups water
1/4 cup vegetable oil (for vegan)
2 teaspoons liquid smoke (for vegan)

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.

Provided by Julia Reed

Categories     dinner, for one, main course

Time 3h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 cups dried black-eyed peas or 4 cups fresh or frozen
1 1/2 pounds andouille sausage or other good-quality smoked sausage
1/4 pound chunk of country or smoked ham
6 cups chicken stock or water
1 tablespoon bacon grease or olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 rib celery, finely chopped
1 tablespoon minced garlic
3 sprigs fresh thyme or 1 1/2 teaspoons dried
2 bay leaves
1 or 2 dried chili peppers or 1 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon pickling spice
Salt to taste
4 cups cooked rice
Chopped green onions, Tabasco sauce and cider vinegar for serving

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.)
  • Heat the bacon grease or oil in a heavy skillet, add the onion and celery and cook until soft. Add to the peas with the garlic and remaining seasonings. 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.
  • Slice remaining sausage into 1/2-inch rounds. Fry briefly in a nonstick skillet and add to the peas. Remove the whole piece of sausage and the ham and chop roughly; return to pot. Cook for another 15 minutes. Remove the thyme sprigs, bay leaves and pepper pods.
  • To serve, ladle pea mixture over rice and sprinkle with green onions, Tabasco and vinegar to taste.

BLACK-EYED PEAS WITH MUSTARD GREENS AND RICE



Black-Eyed Peas With Mustard Greens and Rice image

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."
