Black Eyed Peas caloric level;med. level of difficulty; easy peasy

Real crowd pleaser here folks! Easy to make, delisious to eat! Serve with whole grain basmati rice
and my recipe for cornbread, might be a bit heavy for summer, gonna post anyway cause it's soooo good! For a vegan alternative use veg stock instead of meat.

1 bag black eyed peas
2 bell peppers red and green
1 large onion
3 cloves fresh garlic
2 med smoked ham hocks or 6 slices smoked bacon, or 1/2 smoked turkey or chicken
2 bay leaves
2 chicken or vegtable stock cubes
1 sprig fresh thyme
salt and pepper to taste


In large pot boil meat for and hour (if using bacon, no need to pre cook,just add with the rest of ingredients, cut into squares) dice peppers, onions, garlic and add to to pot put in bay leaves, salt,pepper and thyme, add stock cubes. Rinse beans and add to pot.
cook for 3 1/2 to 4 hours or until beans are tender. serve over rice. Lord have mercy!

Enjoy and share
