Kitchen Tip : Tony's Hoppin' John
Ingredients
-
1 Pound Dried Black-Eyed Peas, Sorted and Rinsed
-
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
-
1 Medium Sweet Onion, Finely Diced
-
2 Cloves Garlic, Minced
-
5 Cups Chicken Broth
-
1 Cup Tony’s Bloody Mary Mix (Optional – See Notes)
-
1 Can (10.5 Ounces) Spicy Tomatoes with Chilies
-
1 Tablespoon Tony’s Original Creole Seasoning
-
1 Pound Smoked Pork or Turkey (Ham Hock, Ham Bone, Turkey Leg, Turkey Wing, etc.)
-
2 Cups Uncooked Rice
- Clear
Directions
- In a large pot or Dutch oven with a tight-fitting lid, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring frequently, until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add the broth, Tony’s Bloody Mary Mix, peas, undrained tomatoes, Tony’s Original Creole Seasoning, and smoked meat. Stir to combine. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally for about 1 hour or until the peas are tender. Add additional broth if needed.
- If desired, remove the meat, shred it and then return it to the pot. Add more Tony’s Original Creole Seasoning to taste.
- While the peas cook, prepare the rice according to the package instructions. The 2 cups of uncooked rice should yield 6 to 8 cups of cooked rice depending on the exact kind. Serve peas over the cooked rice, mixing together if desired.
NOTES:
If not using Tony’s Bloody Mary Mix, add 1 additional cup of broth.
