Purple Hull Peas Recipe – Adapted from Grits & Pinecones

https://www.gritsandpinecones.com/purple-hull-peas/

Ingredients

Approximately 1 cup fresh purple hull peas, shelled
Approximately 1 cup chicken or vegetable stock, homemade or purchased
Piece of smoked meat (ham hock, turkey wing, leftover bacon ends (optional)
1/4 cup minced Vidalia sweet onion
1 tsp olive oil, bacon grease or lard
salt and pepper to taste

Optional add-ins: sauteed diced peppers, sliced okra, tomatoes, celery. Add hot sauce or diced jalapeños for some heat!
**Cooking Tip: shell your peas before you cook them. The hulls are not edible.

Instructions

Add olive oil to a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Once the pan is hot, add the onion and cook for about six minutes or until it is tender and translucent.

Add the peas, the ham hock, salt, pepper, and chicken stock. Add water if necessary to make sure the peas are covered by at least an inch of liquid. Turn the heat up to medium-high until the liquid comes to a boil. Reduce the heat and cook uncovered for about 20 minutes.

Start tasting the peas at about 15 minutes to check for seasoning and to see if they are tender. The smaller and fresher they are, the less time they will need to cook.

Once done, remove and discard the ham hock and serve immediately.
