🍚 Hoppin' John Recipe | Carolina Peas and Rice | A New Years Day Dish

Greetings Fellow Food Junkie Followers,
Today I am sharing with you another recipe that goes along with New Years Day Lucky Meal, Hoppin' John. Hoppin' John is a recipe that originated in the Gullah community in the low country of South Carolina. It combines peas (usually black-eyed peas), rice, and some type of pork. The seasonings can vary depending on what you like. In this recipe, we used Onions, bell pepper, garlic, bacon, salt, and Pepper. Some like to add in a little tomato paste for color and taste. You could also add in thyme and a bay leave. I hope you enjoy my version of Hoppin' John and will give it a try.

Johnny Apple Peeler by Victorio http://amzn.to/2xt4mYz We have used this tool extensively in our kitchen. From peeling apples for the kids or potatoes to making curly fries. When the twins were born, we used this to peel 5 bushes of pears to make homemade baby food.

Swissmar Borner Mandoline V Slicer http://amzn.to/2EfId1H This is a product that I use quite a bit. It will slice up potatoes, Onions, carrots, bell pepper, etc in a quick minute.

The Great Scrape Ultimate BBQ Tool http://amzn.to/2xteJeO If you love grilling

Ninja 4 in 1 cook system http://amzn.to/2xt1RFu We love this unit. I have a video where I cook chicken noodle soup in the one that I have. I love the feature where you set a cook time and it finishes and turns on to warm. You can also brown meat in this or bake in it.
Cajun Injector Batter Pro http://amzn.to/2xX16pN I have had one of these for a while now. I actually got it for a present for Christmas one year. I love this thing. If you deep fry chicken, fish, or vegetables that need to be breaded, this thing is the ticket.

Kitchenaid Blender http://amzn.to/2xt4LtX I debated for a while between this unit and the more expensive Vitamix blenders. Although I have never used a Vitamix, this one has been very solid for me. I use it to blend soups a good bit. Especially when I make potato soup. Never had an issue with it.

Ninja Blender http://amzn.to/2xt1Q4l This was another item that I did a lot of research on. I was trying to decide between the Magic Bullet and this. I ended up going with this and to this day, I am still very satisfied with my purchase. It blends really great. Does what I need it to do. Great for smoothies where you don’t have to drag the blender out and can drink out of the same cup.
