    Hoppin John

    "A classic Southern dish! Hoppin' John, or "Carolina Peas and Rice," is a simple, flavorful combination of black-eyed peas, rice, bacon, smoked ham hock, onion, celery, garlic, and herbs. Often served on New Year's Day, the delicious field peas pair nicely with other lucky foods like cornbread and collard greens. Don't wait for a New Year's tradition, though -- this humble dish deserves an appearance on the table more than once a year! Black-eyed peas are a must on New Year's Day! No matter what we had going on, where we were, or who else was around our table, my Mom always served Hoppin' John with our first dinner of the New Year...along with the other usual suspects of greens and cornbread. Southern superstition tells us that black-eyed peas bring prosperity in the New Year, so who am I to argue with tradition?!"
