Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 cups Black-eyed Peas -- cooked

1/2 cup Rice -- white or brown

1 1/2 cups Water

1/2 cup Celery -- chopped

1/2 cup Onion -- chopped, or

1/4 cup Green pepper -- chopped

4 green spring onions -- chp, up to 5

4 ounces Mushrooms -- sliced, canned

2 teaspoons Poultry Seasoning

4 Tomatoes -- crushed

1/2 teaspoon Red pepper -- crushed (opt)

 

Directions: Combine ingredients in a stockpot or crockpot, and cook

until rice is done, about 45 minutes to 1 hour. A little more liquid may

have to be added. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking as the mixture

thickens whichever method is used. In crockpot, cook about 4 hours on

high, and 6-7 hours on low heat.

 

Cook's Note: In any authentic Southern cookbook, there will almost

always be a recipe for Hoppin' John, which is basically a combination of

rice and black- eyed peas. To this basic recipe, each cook will add

his/her personal touches and I have added mine. White rice is

traditional, but brown rice has more fiber. Tomatoes are optional.

Mushrooms are a modern touch. In some areas, red pepper sauce or tabasco

sauce replaces the crushed red pepper. In Texas, Purple Hull peas are

frequently used, with Picante Sauce served on the side. In Louisiana, Red

Beans and Rice are the popular combination. In other places, is found

the combination of black beans and rice as the popular dish. Serving
