Recipe View 3 mins Taste and adjust seasonings as needed before serving. The peas should be creamy and flavorful. (3 minutes)

For a richer flavor, consider using smoked ham hocks instead of diced ham. Simmer them with the peas and remove the hocks before serving.
If you prefer a vegetarian version, omit the ham and add a teaspoon of smoked paprika for a smoky flavor.
Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley or a dollop of sour cream, if desired.
Soaking the black-eyed peas overnight can reduce cooking time.

    The garlic powder gave it a nice touch, but I think I'll use fresh garlic next time.

  • Verona Skiles

    My black-eyed peas turned out mushy. I think I overcooked them, so I will be sure to check it often next time.

  • Margaret Tremblayemard
