1 cup cooking liquid, reserved
1 cup chicken broth (or 2 cups chicken broth if using canned black eyed peas)

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 bay leaf
Hoppin John Recipe Instructions
How To Make Black Eyed Peas
Rinse and drain one package of black eyed peas. Place into a heavy bottomed pot, and add 8 cups of water and a tablespoon kosher salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a medium simmer and cook for about 2 hours until the peas are tender. I cook my peas without the cover, giving it a stir and adding more water to keep the peas covered. start tasting the peas at around the 1 hour 45 min to 2 hour mark, testing to see if the peas are tender. If you're using a package like this, you'll have about 1 1/2 cup leftover from the recipe. Once the peas are tender, remove the pan from heat.
Reserve 1 cup of cooking liquid, then drain the peas. Hold the peas in the strainer and wash out the pot for the next step. Peel and chop 1/2 of a yellow onion. Chop 1 green or red pepper and about 5 ribs of celery.
Cook the bacon over medium until it’s crispy and the fat has rendered, then remove it to a paper towel lined plate. Once the bacon has cooked, remove it to a paper towel lined plate.
We’ll only need about 2 tablespoons of the bacon fat, spoon off the rest, and save it for another recipe or discard. Return the bacon fat to medium heat and add the chopped vegetables. Saute until they are tender.
While the vegetables are cooking, chop the ham if you’re using it. I’ll leave the more fatty pieces larger so they can add flavor to dish as we cook the rice and peas. They’re easy enough to spot in the finished dish.
Once the vegetables are tender, add in 1 cup of uncooked long grain rice, and saute. Add a little more bacon fat if you need it. Add in the ham and stir. Then add in the spices: ½ teaspoon dried basil, ¼ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon dried thyme, ¼ teaspoon dried oregano, ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes and 1 bay leaf.
Stir and cook for a minute or two, then add the 1 cup of reserved cooking liquid, and 1 cup of chicken broth. If you’re using canned black eyed peas, you’ll add in 2 cups of chicken broth. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Then stir, and add 2 cups of black eyed peas. Add the bacon, tearing it into crumbles. I like to keep some larger pieces so you can see the bacon in the Hoppin’ John.
Cover and simmer for 10 minutes, then just remove the bay leaf, add any garnishes and season to taste. I added ¼ teaspoon of salt and ground pepper… and I like to serve ours with lemon wedges on the side to squeeze in a little tartness into the richness of the Hoppin’ John.
Easy Hoppin John With Canned Black Eyed Peas
Start the recipe cooking the bacon and vegetables. Add the rice, two cups of chicken broth and spices. Cook for 10 minutes to cook the rice. Drain the black eyed peas, and add to the pot along with the bacon, and simmer for 10 minutes longer. Discard the bay leaf and serve.

How To Make Trini Black Eyed Peas & Rice | Foodie Nation
Make sure to have your Black Eyed Peas & Rice hot and ready on Ole Years Night, to bring in 2020 the Trinbagonian way:
Yield: 10 Portions
INGREDIENTS
3 Tbsp of Vegetable Oil
2 Tbsp Brown Sugar
¼ Cup Onions, finely minced
3 Tbsp Garlic, minced
3 Pimento Peppers, finely minced
¼ Cup Chopped Celery
½ Cup Carrots, small diced
½ Cup Pumpkin, small diced
2 Tbsp Chadon Beni/Culantro, minced
12 Oz of Pigtail (Pre-boiled) ½-Inch Pieces
2 Tins Black Eyed Peas
2 Cups of Parboiled Rice
2 Oz Coconut Milk Powder
4 Cups Vegetable Stock or Water
1 Tsp Paprika Powder
½ Tsp Chili Powder
1 Whole Scotch Bonnet Pepper
2 Tbsp Salted Butter
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
METHOD
1. Heat iron pot over high heat.
2. Once pot is hot, add the oil and then add brown sugar.
3. Once sugar begins to bubble and caramelize, stir using a pot spoon until sugar develops a deep amber with slight black jack colour. This may take about 2 minutes.
4. Immediately add the onions, garlic, pimentos and celery. Sauté for 3 minutes until aromatic.
5. Add in the carrots, pumpkin and chadon beni and continue cooking for 4 minutes, stirring frequently.
6. Add in the pigtails and stir fry for 3 minutes. Add in the black eyed peas and rice. Mix well to incorporate all ingredients and cook for 4 minutes or until rice begins to stick to the bottom of the pot.
7. Mix the vegetable stock or water with the coconut powder and add into the rice.
8. Water should cover the surface of the rice. Stir well to distribute ingredients, scraping the bottom of the pot to release any caramelized bits.
9. Sprinkle in the paprika and chili powders, the whole scotch bonnet pepper, cover and bring to a slow boil. (About 8 – 10 minutes)
10. Once at boiling point, remove cover, stir well and reduce heat to medium. Return cover and allow to cook for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent peas from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
11. Check the doneness of the rice at this point. If it’s a bit hard or close to being done, gauge by adding a little more water and cover the pot; allowing it to cook for a few more minutes. However if still moist with sufficient liquid and close to being done, then leave uncovered and allow excess water to evaporate.
12. Add the salted butter and taste for seasoning. Add salt and pepper as per your likeness and stir to ensure all ingredients are mixed well as this prevents the bottom from burning.
13. Do this until you have reached your desired consistency.
14. Remove from heat and let sit for 15 minutes to allow the flavours to converge and set.
