Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup chopped onions
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 sprig fresh thyme
  • 5 to 6 ounces (about 1 cup) roughly chopped country ham pieces
  • 1 pound dried black-eyed peas, soaked in cold water overnight and rinsed well
  • 1 quart low-sodium chicken stock
  • 1 cup cold water
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

In a medium stockpot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the onions and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in the garlic, bay leaves, thyme, and country ham. Add the black-eyed peas, chicken stock, and 1 cup cold water. Bring the liquid up to a boil, partially cover and reduce to a simmer. Simmer the peas for about 25 minutes, uncover and cook an additional 20 to 25 minutes, or until the peas are tender. Season the peas with salt and pepper as needed.

    Not the same ole boring Blackeyed Peas

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    Made these for New Years and for the first time my husband got a second helping. I also used a ham hock, browned slightly... before adding the onion. I added some Louisiana hot sauce for a little spice and found they were delicious. Will definately make again and again!Read more

    Very easy blackeyed pea recipe

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    This was the first time for me to make blackeyed peas for the New Year. I had made a ham for Christmas and had ham left over... so I just used it for this recipe as well. I followed the recipe exactly as it states and all I added at the end was a little Tonys creole seasoning to give it a little bit of spice. I do not like things very spicy where as my husband does, so this made it that much more perfect. I will keep this recipe and use it for years to come. Thanks Emeril! Read more

    Amazing

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    The best black eyed peas I have ever tasted!! Full of flavor! Soaked peas for 6 hours & threw all the ingredients in a crock... pot minus the water. Also used ham hock instead of ham. Cooked on low for 8 hours. This recipe is definitely a keeper!! Read more
