EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Planning on leftovers? The rice will continue to soak up the juices, making this more of a casserole the next day. The flavor is still nice, but add a little water before reheating if you prefer a soup.

Have plenty of red pepper sauce and corn bread on hand to go with this southern treat.

Have this stew on New Year's Day. Legend has it, eating black-eyed peas on New Year's Day ensures prosperity in the coming year.

I love to make Hoppin' John black eyed peas for New Years! This recipe is a great as a base. I alter it by substituting ham hocks for smoked turkey parts and Andoulli chicken sausage in stead of the smoked pork sausage. I also add celery to this recipe to add that extra flavor. Love it!!

This was pretty horrible. The black eyed peas were over kill. One can would of been much better. I found that thsi dish was too salty and the sausage and pork hokes didnt really compliment each other. Overall I will never make this dish again.
