HOPPIN' JOHN -- RICE AND BLACK-EYED PEAS
I have heard all my life that one should eat black eyed peas on New Year's Day for good luck throughout the new year. It wasn't until I was in my early twenties that my father changed the dish from black eyed peas to Hoppin' John as our traditional New Year's Day good luck meal. It's simple, po' foke's food, and I love it any time of the year. In the directions, I will include substitutions to make this dish vegetarian/vegan. Some history of the dish can be found here --http://members.aol.com/RSRICHMOND/hoppingjohn.html -- It would seem most people cook the rice and peas seperately, and then combine the two to serve. That's how my dad does it. I wanted to cook the flavor of the black eyed peas into the rice. So, this recipe strays a little from the norm, in that I cook the rice with the peas already in the pan.

Steps:
- In a 4 qt or pan brown bacon and cook onion in bacon grease until the onion is transparent. ** For vegan, omit bacon and use approximately 1/4 cup of vegetable oil to cook onion.
- Add uncooked rice, black eyed peas (with juice) and water to your bacon onion mixture. Mix well. **For vegan add liquid smoke at this point to replace the smoke flavor that would have been added by the bacon.
- Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to medium.
- When the tops of the bursting bubbles of boiling water are all of the liquid that can be seen above the rice, remove the pan from the heat and cover.
- Wait at least twenty minutes, WITHOUT PEEKING!
- Don't do it. You'll loose precious heat and steam.
- Serve with bread of your choice, or with the veggies of your choice and plenty of hot sauce. Of course, the variety of hot sauce you choose will depend on your tolerance for heat. If you would like, this could be served as a side dish, as well.

Steps:
- Heat a medium heavy-bottomed saucepot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the black-eyed peas and cover with cold water by 1 inch (should be about 6 cups water). Add the smoked turkey and a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook over medium heat, covered, until tender, about 2 hours, then turn off the heat.
- Melt the butter and oil in a large saucepot over medium-high heat. Add the onions and peppers. Season with salt and pepper and cook just until slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute more. Add the rice to the pot and stir until toasted, about 5 minutes.
- Add 3 cups water and 1 cup of the cooking liquid from the peas. Bring to a boil, then cover and cook over medium-low heat until the rice is tender and cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork and gently stir in 2 cups of the cooked peas (save the remainder for another use). Cover and cook for 10 minutes more. Transfer to a serving bowl and top with the sliced scallions before serving.
HOPPIN' JOHN
In the southern United States, eating Hoppin' John on New Year's Day is thought to bring a prosperous year filled with luck. The peas are symbolic of pennies or coins, and a coin is sometimes added to the pot or left under the dinner bowls. Collard greens, mustard greens, turnip greens, chard, kale, cabbage etc. along with this dish are supposed to also add to the wealth since they are the color of money. I had leftover ham and a bag of black eyed peas. Combined recipe on bag with Betty Crocker and tweaked a bit.

Steps:
- Cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until golden brown and crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon & reserve the bacon fat.
- In a medium pot pour the rinsed black eyed peas and 2-3 tbsps. of the bacon grease. Add a 1/4 tsp salt, 1 tsp dried thyme, a little water (just to cover the beans) and keep over low heat. The beans are cooked so this is mostly to give them a little flavor. Most of the water would evaporate by the time you're ready to use them.
- In a large sauce pan or a wok heat 2 tablespoons of the bacon grease over medium high heat and cook the onions until soft. (Using olive oil will make a healthier version.) Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds just to release the flavor without burning it. Stir in the rice and cook for about 2 minutes or until it looks translucent. Add in 1 cup of the champagne or wine and cook until completely reduced. Add 2 cups of the broth and let it cook over medium heat until evaporated. Add the last cup of broth. When the liquid is gone your rice should be cooked. If you want to use more rice just use the ratio of 1:3 rice to broth.
- When it's done set to the side and sprinkle the green onions.
- In a sauté pan add 3 tablespoons of the bacon grease and add the shrimp in an even layer, salt & pepper. Cook until nicely pink & no longer translucent. Add those on top of the risotto.
- Place the 2 cups champagne, shallots, vinegar & pepper in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Let cook until liquid is reduced to 1/4 cup. Begin whisking in the butter a few pieces at a time and continue whisking until the sauce is emulsified. Season with salt.
- Pour the black eyed peas over the risotto, pour the white sauce, top with the bacon bits & parsley.

HEALTHIER BLACK-EYED PEAS (AKA HOPPIN' JOHN) FROM GLAMOUR MAGAZI
This recipe has become our favorite black-eyed pea recipe. Because it's made without meat, which can be served on the side (although we don't bother with it), it's lighter and it's vegan, which means we've been able to serve it to a whole crowd of different people around our table who have religious or ethical dietary needs. And meat-eaters who say they don't like beans come away asking for the recipe. This recipe includes two parts: the beans and a vinaigrette which seasons it. Serve with cornbread and greens or spinach. If you are good with a pressure cooker, you can speed this up by about half. Preparation time does not reflect pressure cooker use or soaking time. We usually double the recipe as it freezes well. If time is an issue, just make your rice at the same time but save the water from the peas and make some dirty rice to serve with other things.
