Emeril's Hoppin' John image

From The Essence of Emeril....Hoppin' John is a New Year's Southern Tradition:Black-Eyed Peas for good luck, ham or ham hock for good health, and the greens for financial success! I have tried several different recipes for this and so far, this is my favorite! I sometimes add chopped spinach or collard greens even though this particular recipe doesn't call for them, and it's so delish that way too! Happy New Year!!

I've been making this recipe for years and it's always a hit with my family and friends. The combination of black-eyed peas, rice, and smoked sausage is perfect.
