This recipe combines black-eyed peas and okra for a down-home country taste. We like to make this recipe in the winter with fried chicken and mashed potatoes.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups dry black-eyed peas
  • 12 cups water
  • 3 pounds smoked ham hocks
  • 1.25 cups chopped onion
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.13 teaspoons cayenne pepper
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 package frozen sliced okra , 10 ounce

Instructions

  1. 1

    Pick over peas, rinse, and place in a large Dutch oven or soup pot with water; bring to a boil for 2 minutes. Remove from heat, cover, and let stand for 1 hour.

  2. 2

    Stir in ham hocks, onion, celery, salt, cayenne pepper, and bay leaf; bring to a boil, cover the pot, and simmer until ham hocks are tender, about 1 ½ hours.

  3. 3

    Stir in okra and simmer until tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove and discard bay leaf before serving.
