Ingredients:

Serving

1 16 oz bag of dried black eyed peas ( soaked overnight)
2 stalks celery
2 carrots
1 medium onion
3 or 4 15 oz cans chicken broth
2 lbs smoked ham shanks or hocks
3 bay leaves
freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 tbsp olive oil
your favorite rice , cooked of course

Directions:

Make sure the peas have been soaked overnight
Chop the celery, carrots and onion
Heat a stock pot or dutch oven over medium heat and add olive oil (you may need a bit more or less, depending in the pot)
Add the vegetables to the pot and cook until onions are clear, stirring every few minutes (this may take 10-15 minutes)
Add the ham, add enough chicken broth to cover and bring to a boil
Once boiling, add the beans and the bay leaves
Bring to a boil once again, and then reduce heat to slow simmer (mediumlow seems to work on my stove)
Add several grinds of black pepper
Let simmer for 4 1/2 to 6 hours, adding black pepper to taste from time to time
After 2 hours, remove ham meat from the bones and leave larger bones in the pot
Remove bay leaves and bones
Serve with rice
