Recipe ingredients and directions:
HOPPIN’ JOHN
4 c black-eyed peas (about 2 cans)
3/4 t salt
1 c onions, chopped fine
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 T butter or vegetable oil
pinch ground allspice
pinch cayenne
1 1/2 T soy sauce (optional)
freshly ground black pepper to taste
3 c cooked brown rice
1 large ripe tomato, chopped
1/2 c chopped scallions
chopped fresh parsley
sour cream or nonfat plain yogurt
smoked cheddar cheese, grated
Warm the black-eyed peas with their liquid in a saucepan. Saute
the onions and garlic in the butter or oil until golden, about 10
minutes. Add the allspice, cayenne, and soy sauce. Stir this
mixture into the warm peas. If necessary, add a little water or
vegetable broth to make it juicy. Simmer gently for about 20
minutes to allow the flavors to marry. Stir often.
To serve, top the warm rice with the black-eyed peas and then the
chopped fresh tomato, scallions, and parsley. Add sour cream or
grated smoked cheddar cheese as well, however you like.
