Easy Black Eyed Peas Recipe | Soul Food

ham hock

🥗Healthier: smoked turkey leg

💰Cheaper: pork shoulder

Smoked turkey leg is lower in fat, while pork shoulder is more budget-friendly.

Soak black-eyed peas overnight in water.

Drain and rinse the peas.

In a large pot, sauté onion until soft.

Add the soaked peas, ham hocks, chicken broth, butter, salt, black pepper, and jalapeno (if using).

Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 1-2 hours until peas are tender.
