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.
BLACK-EYED PEAS AND RICE
In her cookbook, "Jubilee: Recipes from Two Centuries of African American Cooking," Toni Tipton-Martin writes about the Carolina lowcountry tradition of the dish Hoppin' John, as recorded in the "Penn School & Sea Islands Heritage Cookbook." The dish was described as brown field peas cooked with rice to be eaten for good luck throughout the year. In African American communities, the tradition of eating rice and cowpeas dates to a celebration on Dec. 31, 1862, Freedom's Eve. On that day, enslaved Africans congregated in churches in the south, eager to hear the news that the Emancipation Proclamation had set them free. The tradition of eating peas and rice for the new year is now deeply held across cultures throughout the United States and ties to centuries-old folklore that might just lead to better health, prosperity and maybe, just maybe, a bit more luck.

Steps:
- Soak the black-eyed peas in cold water overnight, then drain when ready to cook.
- In a large saucepan, cook the salt pork over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp and the fat is rendered, about 6 minutes. Add the onion and garlic and cook until just translucent, about 3 minutes. Stir in the chicken stock, drained black-eyed peas, ham, red-pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and simmer over medium-low heat, skimming any foam that rises to the surface, until tender, about 1 hour.
- Taste and season with more salt as desired. Stir in the rice. Cover and return the pot to a simmer over high heat. Reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer, cover and cook until the rice is tender, about 20 minutes longer. Remove from the heat and let stand, covered, 5 minutes, then serve.
