I made this today (new year’s day), and it was delicious. That said, I ran into problems with the rice. 10 minutes to simmer wasn’t long enough for it to cook properly (crunchy), and I needed to add another cup of broth and let it cook down for probably another 20 minutes before it was right. I will make this again, but I will cook the rice on its own next time and incorporate everything at the end. Flavors were great though, so thanks for sharing this recipe.
You simmer it for 20 mins. 10 mins before adding peas and 10 after. I made this recipe today as well. I only deviated with red pepper as I enjoy it pretty hot.
Glad you liked it, T W! We often have leftover rice in the fridge and I keep it on hand to add it to the end of dishes too 😊 See the note below for the 20 minute simmer, sorry if that was confusing in the recipe. I've also noticed some brands of rice have different recommended liquid ratios and cook times, and have had to defer to the back of the rice package vs recipes sometimes 🤔 so I tend to stick to Mahatma extra long grain rice and Trader Joes jasmine rice.
I’m gonna try to make this dish one night in honor of the late Michael K. Williams.

I am a year late, but I am going to make this in honor of Chaulky white.
Classic Southern Black American dish
Yasss honey you did that!!! Great recipe and preparation.
Thank you so much Monica! Wishing you a happy New Year!! 🎉🎉
I love Hoppin John!! Black eyed peas are one of my favorite vegetables. It’s a close contest between the okra and black eyed peas.
I had some in December, but these look amazing!!!😊😊😊
It's got such great flavor 😊 I may just have to cook up another batch today!

I love adding 1/4 teaspoon Creole Seasoning, 1/4 teaspoon Paprika, and I love slicing up 1/2 of Andouille sausage to giv it that Cajun kick!!!!
Hi Angelina! Are you using Tony Chachere's? I've got some peas ready to go in the fridge and going to try it your way 👍 Happy New Year 🎉🎉
Soak the black eyed peas over night before cooking.
Oh my such goodness
It's so delicious 😊 Thanks for watching!
Oh and by the way your recipe KICKED ASS
Thanks, Al ❤️ I LOVE it too!! I might just need to make it this weekend 😀
