Spicy Ham Hocks And Black Eyed Peas
You can serve this on rice or simply as a side dish. It's alittle bit spicy, but you might like to add some tabasco or hot green pepper sauce to give it a little more punch. I do.
Steps
Place black-eyed peas in a large deep pan.
Cover with enough water to be about 2-inches deep over peas.
Bring to a boil , boil 3 minutes , then remove from heat.
Cover and allow to sit for 1 hour.
Drain water off of black-eyed peas.
Add the broth , 2 cups of water , ham hocks , onions , celery , carrots , jalapenos , salt and pepper to the black-eyed peas and bring to a boil.
