Directions

  1. Place black-eyed peas into a large container and cover with several inches of cool water, let stand 8 hours to overnight. Drain and set aside.

  2. Cook pork necks and bacon in a Dutch oven over medium heat until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.

  3. Stir in onion, celery, and carrot, cook and stir until softened, 6 to 7 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook 1 minute.

  4. Pour cold water and black-eyed peas into pork mixture, increase heat to high.

  5. Stir in bay leaf, thyme, cumin, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Bring mixture to a simmer, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45 minutes.

  7. Remove neck bones from mixture, separate any meat from bones, return meat to Dutch oven, and discard bones.

Recipe Note

This recipe features black-eyed peas, and three kinds of pork. How can that not bring good fortune? This is my variation of Hoppin' John, which is black-eyed peas, rice, and pork stewed together, usually served with some kind of greens and cornbread.
