Classic Hoppin’ John Recipe

Recipe By Southern Living

This southern staple serves up a generous helping of comfort and tradition. We use thick-cut bacon to get the perfect amount of smokiness, as opposed to a ham hock. A ham hock can, at times, overpower the dish. Traditionally, hoppin john is a one-pot recipe, but that often produces soupy results. Instead, cook the black-eyed peas with aromatics and broth until tender; then strain and reserve the liquid for later. Once the rice is done, gently stir it into the pea mixture with the liquid. This method does require washing an extra pan, but we think youll agree that its worth it. There are three things you do want to keep traditional about your hoppin john though: the pork, the peas, and the rice.
