Ingredients
-
1 pound dry black-eyed peas
-
3 cups water, plus more if needed
-
2 smoked ham hocks
-
1 bay leaf
-
½ teaspoon black pepper, plus more to taste
-
salt to taste
Directions
-
Rinse black-eyed peas thoroughly, sorting and discarding any tiny pebbles or other debris.
-
Place black-eyed peas, 3 cups water, ham hocks, bay leaf, pepper, and salt in a large stockpot; bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook uncovered until peas and ham hocks are tender, about 1 hour 30 minutes. If ham hocks require further cooking, simmer in water in a separate pot until meat is easily pulled from the bone.
-
Cool ham hocks and remove meat from the bone. Return ham meat to the stockpot. Discard bay leaf and season with salt and pepper.
