Black-Eyed Peas with Pork and Greens
56k
Chef John
"This recipe features black-eyed peas, and three kinds of pork. How can that not bring good fortune?
This is my variation of Hoppin' John, which is black-eyed peas, rice, and pork stewed together, usually served with some kind of greens and cornbread."

It's a nice recipe, but I found the beans were not quite cooked enough for me in the time frame given -- a tiny bit on the crunchy side. Maybe a full hour before adding the tomatoes might be be...
