Hoppin' John | Easy Hoppin John Recipe | Black Eyed Peas And Rice
Our Hoppin' John is a delicious pot traditional southern comfort, and is often served on New Year's Day to celebrate and bring good luck for the year. We're making our favorite easy Hoppin' John one pot recipe, cooking up the dried black eyed peas, smoky bacon, rice, ham and spices into a hearty, flavorful dish that'll keep you coming back for more. And it's also easy to make with canned black eyed peas if you're a little short on time, watch along or see the directions below for learn how.
Traditional Hoppin' John Recipe Ingredients
1 15 oz package dried black eyed peas (or 1 15 oz can black eyed peas)
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1/2 pound thick cut bacon
1 red or green pepper, chopped
1/2 yellow onion, chopped
4 - 5 ribs celery, chopped
1 cup uncooked long grain rice
1 cup cooking liquid, reserved
1 cup chicken broth (or 2 cups chicken broth if using canned black eyed peas)
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
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.
Thank you so much for watching and I’ll see you in the next video!

Hoppin' John | Southern Living
This Southern staple serves up a generous helping of comfort and tradition. We use thick-cut bacon to get the perfect amount of smokiness, as opposed to a ham hock. A ham hock can, at times, overpower the dish. Traditionally, Hoppin’ John is a one-pot recipe, but that often produces soupy results. Instead, cook the black-eyed peas with aromatics and broth until tender; then strain and reserve the liquid for later. Once the rice is done, gently stir it into the pea mixture with the liquid. This method does require washing an extra pan, but we think you’ll agree that it’s worth it. There are three things you do want to keep traditional about your hoppin’ John though: the pork, the peas, and the rice.

Ingredients:
6 thick-cut bacon slices; 4 celery stalks; 1 medium-size yellow onion; 1 small green bell pepper; 3 garlic cloves; 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme; 1/2 teaspoon black pepper; 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper; 1 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt; 8 cups lower-sodium chicken broth; 4 cups fresh or frozen black-eyed peas; 2 tablespoons olive oil; 1 1/2 cups uncooked Carolina Gold rice; Fresh scallions

HOPPIN' JOHN
Ingredients;
1LB of Field Peas
3 - 5 Pieces of Smoked Pork Neckbones (or Turkey)
16 1/2 total cups of water (water will reduce during cooking process)
4 Cups of Parboiled Rice
3 - 5 Slices of Salt Jowl (optional)
Seasonings of Choice
1 Tsp of Kitchen Bouquet (optional)
Directions - Please use your own judgement when following these directions. You may or may not need to use as much liquid as I did. It all varies.
1. Fry salt jowl in a large pot for about 5 minutes to render fat.
2. Add neckbones and 10 cups of water and bring to a boil.
3. Lower heat and allow to cook for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Check for tenders of meat and reduced water level after time is up. If meat is not tender and water is considerably reduced, add 4 more cups of water and cook an additional 30 minutes.
4. Once meat is tender, take off stove and let meat cool in a bowl.
5. Once meat is cool, remove from bones and add back to pot.
6. Add rice and more water if needed.
7. Add more seasonings to taste.
8. Cover and bake in the oven on 325 for 1 hour and 20 minutes.
9. Once time has passed, remove from oven and mix well.
10. Serve hot as a side or main dish. Enjoy!
