OK, who has a kick-butt recipe for Hoppin' John? I have fresh purple-hull peas, pasture-raised bacon, and organic, locally-grown short-grain brown rice.
Here's one that looks good. I haven't tried it, but I use Cooking Light's recipes all the time. http://find.myrecipes.com/recipes/recipefinder.dyn?action=displayRecipe&recipe_id=577229 You could easily sub the purple hull peas for the black-eyed ones and the bacon for the ham hocks. And you can even throw in some of the red bell peppers!
