I have never made Hoppin John, but I have made this dish many times, and it is delicious. You can use canned peas or home cooked, either way, make these, yum! I love the tang of the vinegar with the peas.


Savory Black Eyed Peas
adapted from: an article found in a magazine somehwere...

2 cans OR 3 cups cooked black eyed peas - drained
1/4 c water
1/3 c red wine vinegar
4 slices bacon, diced and fried until golden brown
1 T reserved bacon fat
salt and pepper to taste

If using canned peas, drain well. Combine all ingredients in a sauce pan, simmer for 30-45 minutes or until flavors have blended to your satisfaction. Drain and serve OR you may boil the remaining liquid in the pan to reduce and make a tangy reduction.

serves 4-6
