Hi! Just finished making this dish! Used black eyed peas instead of cow peas and added some Turkey Smoked sausage into the mixture. It's soooooo good! My mom and grandmother would have been very proud to taste this! Thank you so much for sharing this!
I made this last week and it came out perfectly! My stepdad said that he hasn’t had a good Southern meal like that in a long time. Thank you for all the delicious recipes!!
One of my favorites is Hoppin John. It’s tradition to eat on New Years Day because the collard greens represent folding money and the black eyed peas represent coins. It’s served over rice with corned bread. I use ham hocks and a slice of ham or leftover ham if I have it, sometimes I use smoked turkey instead. Whatever you use make sure to clean the meat from the bone. This chef used cow peas, but I was taught to use black eyed peas. But I’m from Virginia, just one state from North Carolina. As for the corn bread, I heat a cast iron skillet real hot in the oven, melt the grease in it and pour the batter into the hot pan. I don’t use sugar in my cornbread, some do. The bottom gets crispy. Soooo good! You don’t have to use pepper flakes or hot sauce if you don’t care to. Serve over cooked long grain white rice. I hope Mr Joe might enjoy it. Much love from America!❤ ua-cam.com/video/l328m3OTgAY/v-deo.htmlsi=Ldi4V-9Smzx6z-bf www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/southern_cornbread/
Just made this using your recipe today. I live in California, so I ordered some red peas and Carolina Gold rice from Anson Mills. Substituted shredded smoked turkey neck for the bacon, and used some rendered duck fat in place of the bacon grease. OH MY MY....SO GOOD! Keep these videos coming PLEASE Chef Billy..
man. it's hard to find someone so adept at such a wide variety of local specific foods, and does grey w8th them. TY for paying the lowcountry some live, and thank you for all the great recipes
fixing mine right now...here in the hot weather of South Carolina! I use red field peas as in Gullah tradition as well, not black eyed peas. Thanks for sharing!
Pro pro tip. Cure and smoke your own bacon. Cut off the pelical off when you’re ready to cut slices. Cut the pelical into big chunks. Using this is best for longer timed dishes as it retains more smoke flavour over longer periods.
Happy New Year! Sorry Chef, but you confuse me with the way you say you’re making a traditional hopin john and then add in your own take and say that’s the way we do it. I am not hating on you just letting you know. I have a ton of respect and love for you brother just disagree on adding collards to hopin john.
It’s origin is rooted in Black people in the Americas. Respect people’s traditions. More specifically the lowlands. The Deep South has a notorious history of adopting Black traditions and calling them “southern.”
@@TheSublimeLifestyle I can see your someone that will never see that poor White people often ate the very same things that Black people ate. They always have. I bet your also someone who usually jumps all over someone for "appropriating culture". America is a country that has absorbed every culture that ever rolled into her open arms. I bet your someone that always hollers about "respect" then only gives it back if it fits your narrative. You think that you have some secret knowledge that no one else knows? Really? Its you who do not know history. You know nothing about me and yet you insult me over nothing. Among those who know a thing about the South, there has always been and always will be intermingling. Always. Certain Blacks will never admit it. Certain Whites are the same way. Which one are you? Don't bother to try and tell me. I learned a long time ago that to talk to someone like you is a waste of time. Have a nice evening.
Good one, CB! I like the added commentary as well as the tips and the tricks for improved cooking. I will definitely be back for more!

Looks great cuz. Keep up the good work
Nice! We do black eyed peas. However many you eat=how much $ you will receive that year.
Cant wait to try this! You have a cook book out yet?!
I like ham hocks instead of bacon. That's how it was made when I was a kid.
Love your video my friend.
Can I use chicken or mutton instead of bacan ?
Southerners in VA use black eyed peas.
First
Happy New Year!

Actually, he stated that he was departing from tradition by adding the collards. He made that very clear. Why is that an issue?
Nope, this is eating by pretty much every deep south person, regardless of skin tone. I say southern comfort food, you call it what you like.
