Black-Eyed Peas and Ham

Black-Eyed Peas and Ham

With a Southwestern touch, there is a more complicated list of ingredients with this recipe. It is a fancier version than the classic which most often uses ham hocks.

Ingredients

Units Scale
1 pound dried black-eyed peas 1/2 pound chopped ham 1 medium onion, finely chopped 1 medium sweet red or green bell pepper, finely chopped 1 large jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped 2 garlic cloves, minced 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin 1 teaspoon Knorr chicken flavor bouillon 2 teaspoons salt 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1/4 teaspoon pepper 6 cups water 2 cups uncooked rice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Soak peas overnight in water. Drain.
  2. Transfer black-eyed peas to a slow cooker. Add remaining ingredients except rice. Cover and cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours or until peas are tender.
  3. Serve over rice, if desired.
