Ingredients
Scale
1 lb dried black eyed peas
1 bunch collard greens, chopped
1 medium onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1–2 ham hocks or smoked turkey leg
6 cups vegetable or chicken broth
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Rinse the dried black eyed peas under cool water and check for any debris or little stones. Soak them overnight in plenty of water.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add in the diced onions and sauté until translucent. Add the minced garlic and stir for an additional minute.
Toss in the chopped collard greens and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they begin to wilt.
Drain the soaked black eyed peas and add to the pot along with the ham hock or smoked turkey leg. Pour in the broth and bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let it simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the peas are tender and creamy. Remove the ham hock or turkey leg, shred the meat, and mix it back into the pot.
