Reviews
This was fantastic! Perfect flavor and super easy to make. Our guests raved about it.
Amazing! I did it in the instant pot by using the saute feature for the saute steps and then pressure cooking to cook the peas and it took me a bit more than a half an hour from begining of prep to finish. (I soaked the peas for 2 hours and pressure cooked 10 minutes on high with a 10 minute natural release followed by quick release, cuz mom life means the soak got cut short) There was extra liquid so if doing in the instant pot I’d recommend using 6 cups broth. I used all the ingredients called for and andouille sausage for the smoked sausage.
This was very appealing based solely on the ingredients. I made it without doing any shopping, so used Kielbasa but otherwise followed the recipe, although I only had three bay leaves left. It’s really delicious and will make it again. I did cut the salt to 1/4 t. because I was afraid it would be too salty … easier to add than take out! Put a scoop of brown rice in the bowl as well … very filling that way!
So good! Easy and very tasty
Trying to find interesting stuff to do with limited resources while stuck inside during quarantine, and this came up. So thankful!!! Will become part of our non-quarantine rotation 🙂
This recipe is amazing! I was thinking about doing something similar but googled my ideas and BAM! This came up and it is delicious for a New Year recipe!
12 years serving this. It’s fantastic ❗️
I’ve been using this recipe religiously since 2011. Everyone I serve this dish too absolutely raves about it. Before this recipe I did not black eyed peas (hopping Johns) at ALL. THIS RECIPE MAKES ME LOVE THEM. I make this a few times a year, however, without fail I make them on New Years Eve with my greens!
