Hoppin' John from The Lee Bros. Southern Cookbook: Stories and Recipes for Southerners and Would-Be Southerners by Matt Lee and Ted Lee

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    This was delicious and not too difficult. Used blue goose field peas from Rancho Gordo and bacon. Did not presoak field peas and they were already tender after 30 minutes. Delicious for New Year's Day!

    5 Stars. I REALLY REALLY enjoyed this, which surprised me. Simple, hearty, and packed full of flavor. I chose to not cook the rice in with the black eyed peas because I wanted something to eat during the week for lunch, and adding the rice would have made it not last. Added a smoked pork hock because I had it available.
