HOPPIN JOHN
Hoppin John is typically a one-pot dish, but I like cooking the peas separately because it prevents the dish from getting soggy. Traditional Gullah Hoppin John is meant to be fluffy airy. In my version, you still get the flavor without sacrificing the texture.

Steps:
- Heat a medium heavy-bottomed saucepot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the black-eyed peas and cover with cold water by 1 inch (should be about 3 cups water). Add a pinch of salt and the smoked turkey and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook, covered, over medium heat until tender, about 2 hours.
- Melt the butter in a large saucepot over medium-high heat. Add the onions and peppers. Season with salt and pepper and cook just until slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, 1 minute more. Add the rice and stir until toasted, about 5 minutes.
- Add 3 cups of water and 1 cup of the cooking liquid from the peas, check for seasoning and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook, covered, over medium-low heat until all the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender and cooked through, about 20 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork and gently stir in 2 cups of the cooked peas. Cover and cook 10 minutes more. Transfer to a serving bowl and top with the scallions before serving.
HOPPIN' JOHN
Steps:
- Soak black-eyed peas in cool water for at least 6 hours. Rinse before using.
- Heat butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion, garlic, green pepper, and celery and stir. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in soaked beans, then add chicken broth, ham hock, salt & pepper, and cayenne to taste. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and cover the pot for 30 minutes.
- After 30 minutes, check the liquid level; if it's too soupy, cook with the lid off for another 15 minutes or so. If it's too thick, splash in a little more broth. Stir in vinegar, then taste for seasonings. Add more spice if needed.
- Serve over white or brown rice, making sure to get plenty of the cooking liquid spooned over the top. Or, you may mix the bean mixture with the rice before serving.
- Variations: Add red bell pepper, canned diced tomatoes, diced jalapenos, diced ham (instead of ham hocks), or sliced bacon (instead of ham hocks). Stir in torn-up kale when 5 minutes of cooking time remain. You can also use canned, drained black-eyed peas if preferred. Just use diced ham instead of ham hock and a little less broth, as peas won't need to cook as long.

HOPPING JOHN (MODIFIED)
The amount of liquid, and cooking time, should reflect the cooking instructions for your rice. Uncle Bens, which we had on hand, called for 1 1/3 cups liquid. This is why these exact amounts are listed in the recipe. Depending upon the rice you choose to use. The liquid you need may differ. I wouldn't use a "sticky" rice in this recipe. It would probably not turn out well. Note: I didn't have to use any salt. The ham broth I chose and the Canadian bacon (I felt) brought more then enough salt to the dish. I, and my family, have all kinds of different serious food allergies. [Corn, dairy, and everything in the onion family, as well as celery! Boo! :( ] This makes cooking one meal the whole family can enjoy very difficult to say the least! This recipe may not be for everyone, but we enjoy it, I hope someone else might find it tasty as well. Feel free to use whatever beans you like too! I've made this with Pinto beans and it's come out wonderfully as well!

Steps:
- Prepare the 1 cup ham broth if using a base, or bullion. Make sure the base is well dissolved before adding to cooking pot. (I used 1 teaspoons Penzy's ham base to 1 cup water.).
- Chop Canadian Bacon into small pieces so you will get a little in each bite. Drain and rinse black eye peas. Set both aside.
- Add 1/3 cup water to pot, add prepared ham broth, and add the half cup of uncooked rice. Bring rice liquid to a boil over medium high heat, then stir in black eye peas and ham. As soon as rice liquid returns to a boil, cover pot, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook to rice directions. (Uncle Bens was 20 minutes. Your time may be slightly different.).
- NOTE: If your rice mixture looks too dry near the end, you can mix in a little water, or ham broth to make it more moist. If it's way too wet you can uncover mixture, stir, and cook a little longer until some of the excess moisture evaporates.
