My review
Black-Eyed Peas with Pork and Greens
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."

This was crazy good. I used ham hocks instead of necks, and added andouille sausage to it with the kale. I did not have the canned tomatoes with peppers, so used fresh chopped tomatoes and som...

Made this today and it was absolutely delicious. Didn't have Kale, so I used a half bag of collard greens that I had left over from another dish - guess any greens will do. I'm giving a lot to...

I used Trappey's Blackeyed Peas with Jalapenos. This called for more stock. I used a combination of chicken stock and V-8. Instead of pork neck bones, I substituted a pound of pork shoulder, ...

Love Chef John's recipes so I usually make minor changes, if any. I used fresh purple hull peas for this since I was making it now (July) and live in Texas where they are readily available. I ...
