Hoppin' Johns |
|
Serves: 6 Print this RecipeIn South Carolina and neighboring states, it just wouldn't be a proper New Year's Day without a serving of Hoppin' Johns. This southern favorite is said to bring good luck for the coming year. Some believe Hoppin' Johns got its name because hungry children used to hop impatiently around the table as they waited for supper; others contend that it was named after the custom of inviting a guest to eat by saying, "Hop in, John." 1/2 pound dried black-eyed peas (about 1 cup) 3 1/2 cups water 1/4 pound slab bacon, lean salt pork or smoked pork 1 onion, sliced 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon very finely chopped fresh hot chilies or 1/8 to 1/4 crushed red pepper 1/2 cup uncooked regular long grain rice 1 teaspoon salt Pepper 1. Heat peas and water to boiling in 2-quart saucepan; boil 2 minutes. Remove from heat; cover and let stand 1 hour. 2. Cut bacon into 8 pieces. Stir bacon, onion and hot chili pepper into peas. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer until peas are tender, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. 3. Stir in rice, salt and pepper. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until rice is tender, about 25 minutes. Stir in additional water, if necessary, to cook rice. 1 SERVING: Calories 130 (Calories from Fat 25); Fat 3g (Saturated 1g); Cholesterol 5mg; Sodium 480mg; Carbohydrates 23g (Dietary Fiber 3g); Protein 6g.
