This was a good recipe a little different from our southern tradition. But that is the fun of trying other peoples cooking. We use a smoked ham-hock, usually two. We also use red pepper rather than green, no garlic, no thyme. We do add a small can of diced tomatoes and some finely chopped jalapeno. We also cook everything except the peas adding them last so they do not get mushy. We like them a bit firmer.

I'm in love! This is so simple and truly is delicious. I used a ham bone with goodies still attached instead of the ham hock. It was leftover from the holidays. Added some finely chopped ham about half way thru, since I had it and didn't want to waste it. I'm using brown basmati rice for added flavor and healthier. The blackeyed peas truly cooked that quickly. Easy 5 stars.

Very nice, simple, treatment. Don't leave out the scallions at the end, they lend a very nice flavor to the dish.

i made this the first time just because i like peas, but i have had to make it several other times for others. it is a great pot-luck addition. just make some cornbread and a small salad of your choice and you will be an instant hit. my only note to this recipe is that i have also used pork neck instead of ham hock - every tasty and inexpensive. dont miss this one.

I only made a couple of changes. In order to control the sodium, II cut down the chicken stock to 2 cups and added 2/3 cup of white wine and 1 1/3 cup of water to make up the liquid. The wine adds a nice touch. Instead of serving over white rice, I just directly added cooked brown basmati rice at the end.

Dee-lish.

I was a little hesitant about the simplicity of the recipe...but hits the mark in ease to prepare and flavor without missing a beat.

My boyfriend found this recipe so we could properly celebrate the New Year...and it ended up being a great treasure! We followed the recipe as written and it was delicious! This recipe will not be confined to an annual date...I plan to make it for my parents soon.

It was not bland as a few other users noted...perhaps they eliminated the ham hock.
