HOPPIN' JOHN



Hoppin' John image

Throughout the South this humble dish of "peas" and rice is eaten on New Year's Day for good luck, with a plate of greens, cooked with a hog jowl and plenty of corn bread to sop up the pot likker. In Charleston and the surrounding Lowcountry, cowpeas - dried local field peas - are traditional.

Provided by John Martin Taylor

Categories     Bean     Pork     Rice     New Year's Day     Spring

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup small dried beans such as cowpeas or black-eyes
5 to 6 cups water
1 dried hot pepper (optional)
1 smoked ham hock
1 medium onion, chopped (about 3/4 cup)
1 cup long-grain white rice

Steps:

  • Wash and sort the peas. Place them in a saucepan, add the water, and discard any peas that float. Gently boil the peas with the pepper, ham hock, and onion, uncovered, until tender but not mushy - about 1 1/2 hours - or until 2 cups of liquid remain. Add the rice to the pot, cover, and simmer over low heat for about 20 minutes, never lifting the lid.
  • Remove from the heat and allow to steam, still covered, for another 10 minutes. Remove the cover, fluff with a fork, and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your Hoppin' John. Look for plump, firm black-eyed peas and smoked sausage with a deep, rich flavor.
  • Soak the black-eyed peas overnight. This will help to soften them and reduce the cooking time. If you don't have time to soak the peas overnight, you can quick-soak them by boiling them for 1 minute, then removing them from the heat and letting them stand for 1 hour.
  • Cook the Hoppin' John low and slow. This will help the flavors to develop and the rice to cook evenly. Simmer the Hoppin' John for at least 1 hour, or until the rice is tender and the peas are cooked through.
  • Add your favorite seasonings. Hoppin' John is a versatile dish that can be seasoned to your liking. Common seasonings include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. You can also add fresh herbs, such as thyme or rosemary, for extra flavor.
  • Serve Hoppin' John with your favorite sides. Hoppin' John is a delicious main course, but it can also be served as a side dish. Some popular sides include collard greens, black-eyed peas salad, and cornbread.

Conclusion:

Hoppin' John is a delicious, hearty, and flavorful dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a Southern classic that is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you are serving it as a main course or a side dish, Hoppin' John is sure to be a hit.
