For a deeper smoky flavor, consider using a leftover ham bone from a holiday ham in addition to, or in place of, the ham hocks. If you prefer a spicier dish, add a pinch of red pepper flakes along with the other seasonings. Black-eyed peas can be cooked in a slow cooker on low for 6-8 hours.

01 Step
Recipe View Soak the Black-Eyed Peas: Place the black-eyed peas in a large bowl and cover with several inches of cool water. Let soak at room temperature for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight. (Time: 8+ hours)
02 Step
Recipe View Sauté Aromatics: Drain and rinse the soaked black-eyed peas. In a large, heavy-bottomed stockpot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion is translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes. (Time: 5 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View Combine and Simmer: Pour in the chicken broth and water, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Stir in the black-eyed peas, smoked ham hocks, diced tomatoes (with their juice), pepperoncini peppers, bay leaf, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. (Time: 5 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View Slow Cook to Perfection: Cover the pot and simmer gently until the peas are tender, the ham meat is falling off the bones, and the broth has thickened, approximately 3 hours. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. (Time: 3 hours)
05 Step
Recipe View Adjust and Serve: Remove the bay leaf before serving. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve hot, and enjoy with your favorite sides for a truly luck-filled meal.
