Black-eyed peas are NOT just a Southern New Year's Day tradition. Paired with Jalapeno Maple Bacon Cornbread you can celebrate all year long. Nutrition runs amock in this massively-tasty stew. You can simmer this for a couple hours, but it is also a great slow-cook / crockpot dish.

This is a pretty well-liked and common food south of the M-D line and another gastronomic legacy of the Creole-Soul kitchens.

Thanks to my mom and Chef Emeril for the initial inspiration in 2005. I've added a couple of ingredients that I feel enhance not only the flavor, but the aroma of this dish.

  6. Add the stock and water to cover and give a few turns with the spoon

  8. bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to med-low and simmer for 25 minutes partially covered
  9. Uncover the pot and cook another 25 minutes
  10. Add the salt to taste - easy - remember the ham may be salty, so taste before salting.
