I have been making this Southern black-eyed peas recipe for years and years, and it’s always a big hit for family dinners! Don’t skip the cumin, which is the “secret” ingredient.
Ingredients
- 1 pound dried black-eyed peas
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 pound smoked ham hocks
- 6 cups water
- 1 tablespoon seasoned salt
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 3 bay leaves
Directions
Step 1
Soak black-eyed peas in a bowl of water for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
Step 2
Heat oil in a large, heavy saucepan over medium heat. Saut? onion and garlic in hot oil until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Add smoked ham hocks and water to pan. Bring to a boil. Cover, lower heat to a simmer, and cook for 1 hour.
Step 4
Drain peas and add to the pan along with seasoned salt, onion powder, cumin, black pepper, red pepper, and bay leaves. Bring to a boil. Cover, lower heat to a simmer, and cook for 1 hour.
Step 5
Uncover the pan and cook until peas are tender, about 30 minutes more. Remove bay leaves and ham hocks before serving.
Tips
You can use smoked turkey wings instead of ham hocks.
