New Years Eve Black Eyed Peas Recipes

NEW YEAR BLACK EYED PEAS

A delicious New Year's Eve recipe to bring you luck in the new year! I sometimes just use the ham bone and some of the surrounding meat from the traditional Christmas ham that I make each year, but the ham hocks also add a nice, smokey, rustic flavor of their own.

Steps:

Place the black-eyed peas into a large container and cover with several inches of cool water; let stand 8 hours to overnight. Drain and rinse before using.
In a large stock pot over medium heat, cook and stir onion and garlic in olive oil until onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes. Pour in the chicken broth and 8 cups water, bring to a boil, and reduce heat to a simmer. Stir in soaked black-eyed peas, ham hocks, tomatoes, pepperoncini, bay leaf, garlic powder, thyme, and salt and pepper. Cover and simmer until peas are tender, ham meat is falling off the bones, and the broth is thickened, about 3 hours.

NEW YEAR'S DAY BLACK-EYED PEAS

Black-eyed peas are easy to overcook, so go slow and steady when simmering, and don't forget to taste often to check their doneness. They should be creamy but retain their shape.

Steps:

Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large saucepan over medium. Add bacon, if using, and cook, stirring occasionally, until some of the fat begins to collect in the pan and bacon starts to look shiny, about 5 minutes. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and tender, about 5 minutes. Add thyme sprigs, garlic, black-eyed peas, and 8 cups cold water and bring to a simmer over medium-high. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer gently, skimming any foam from surface, until beans are tender, 35-45 minutes. Discard thyme; season with salt.
To serve, drizzle beans with oil and top with thyme leaves and some pepper.
Do Ahead
Beans can be cooked 3 days ahead. Let cool; cover and chill.

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling

NEW YEAR'S DAY BLACK-EYED PEAS AND HAM HOCKS

My grandfather served similar black-eyed peas, just after midnight, every New Year's Eve, on a leaf of fresh cabbage. I've taken his ideas, and tweaked them...just a bit.

New Year's Day Black-Eyed Peas and Ham Hocks image

Steps:

Soak dried peas overnight or longer.
Sautee the holy trinity and serrano pepper in oil until they sweat. You may want to season the veggies at this point, but beware -- unless you are familiar with the salt content of the hocks, tread lightly.
Add drained peas and remaining ingredients, except toasted flour, and bring to a boil. Then, cover, and simmer for two hours, or until peas are tender.
When peas are tender, remove and debone the hocks, chop the meat into bite-sized chunks, and return to pot. Continue to simmer.
In a sautee pan, toast the flour over medium heat until a medium to dark carmel color -- ten minutes should do the trick. Add it to the peas a bit at a time, and stir after each addition, until desired thickness is achieved.
