My grandma always made Hoppin’ John on New Year’s Day when I was growing up in Virginia. I now live in New Mexico and decided to put a hot Southwestern spin on the recipe this year, hence the name. It’s simple and tasty, and has some heat. I only added two jalapenos, but you could add more if you like it hotter. If you don’t like hot food, you might want to eliminate the jalapenos completely. My husband and I both loved it.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 yellow onion, chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 2 small jalapeno peppers, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups cooked white rice
- 1 (15 ounce) can black-eyed peas, drained and rinsed
- 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with habaneros (such as RO*TEL® Hot), drained
- 4 slices cooked bacon, chopped
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
Directions
Step 1
Melt butter in a large pan over medium heat; cook and stir onion, red bell pepper, jalapeno peppers, and garlic in hot butter until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir cooked rice, black-eyed peas, diced tomatoes with habanero peppers, bacon, salt, and black pepper into vegetables. Cook for 10 minutes to blend flavors, stirring frequently.
Cook’s Note:
This dish could easily be made vegetarian by leaving out the bacon, but pork is a traditional ingredient in Hoppin' John. Greens are also a traditional ingredient, but I did not include them here. You could probably top some raw greens with this and have a tasty salad.
