This recipe was in the newspaper back around Christmas.. Looked interesting, so I saved a copy of it to try.

Ingredients
6 cups shredded cabbage
1 cup uncooked long-grain white rice (I used brown rice - precooked about 30%)
1 teaspoon salt
1 pound ground sirloin (I used 93/7 ground turkey)
1 (10-ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chiles
1 (14-ounce) can diced fire-roasted tomatoes
1 (14-ounce) can reduced-sodium beef broth
1 (15-ounce) can black-eyed peas, rinsed and drained
Freshly ground black pepper (I added in a few shakes of Greek seasoning, and a Memphis rub)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350F.
2. Place cabbage, rice, salt, meat, tomatoes and green chiles, diced tomatoes, and beef broth in a Dutch oven or large baking dish.
3. Cook, covered, 40 minutes. Stir and continue cooking until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, about 30 minutes. Stir in black-eyed peas and pepper. Makes 8 cups. Serves 8.
It turned out pretty tasty. But the winner was the black-eyed peas. I've never had one! (I'm a Yankee - it was a chore just finding a can of them in the store)
I need to play with this a bit.. It has serious potential. Yes, it is a 'healthy' dish.

Love Black-eyed peas!
that looks mighty tasty!
i went out for bbq tonite and the only hilight was smoked black-eyed peas like dry peanuts wow good.
Squirt,
PUHLEEZE tell me you're kidding when you say you've never had black-eyed peas before. You've never had Hoppin' John? You've never had Black-eyed peas cooked with a ham hock? You've never had black-eyed pea JAMBALAYA?
I guess fried black-eyed pea cakes is out of the question too, huh?
:-\ :-\ :-\ I simply don't know what to say.
<sigh>

Hmm. Maybe some black-eyed peas, some CT, and a ride in the smoker for a while. Hmm.

Never had them. Ever. Hal would tell me about making Hoppin' John on NYE and I'd just look at him sideways..
Swear on a stack of wood chips!

ya i think you are on to something
In your grocery up there, does anyone carry "Glory" canned vegetables? Search for them. Buy you some "Glory" black-eyed peas. Dump them in a pan. Don't season 'em. Dey been seasoned. Heat 'em up. OMG!
"Glory" brand foods was started by an African American family in Mississippi (I think MS is correct). It started by these folks cooking for folks around town. Word spread. Soon it became a small industry and then a larger one. The secret is it's already been seasoned. Just open the can. Great variety of different vegetables. A few years ago Glory" brand was purchased by a large conglomerate. The quality is still the same. You cannot get closer to Deep South homemade flavor than "Glory" brand.
BTW, their frozen chicken and dumplings are killer!
+1 on the Glory brand!!!! I always have 10 or 12 cans in the pantry.

Dat's what I'M talking about! :)
I pretty much make my own greens, beans, peas, and the like but when I get a sudden "Jones" and can't wait for next-day gratification, Glory is there to save me.
Hate to be the one to tell you, though - Glory Foods was started by a guy who ran a soul food restaurant in Columbus Ohio. Who'd a thunk it?
Nope, sorry..
I'll look in STL next time we are down there. I always find myself wandering into grocery stores and random... :D

I stand corrected on the geographical location of the origin of Glory Foods. :D Wherever it started, it's good!
Canned Black Eyed Peas = :'(
Have to admit, I never had black eyed peas as well. But that dish looks and sounds great. :)
Someone will have to give me their favorite Hoppin' John recipe so I can try it sometime..
Sorry standles, This was one of those 'busy evening dump & cook' recipes. ;)

What the hell is wrong with you people?! :D No black-eyed peas?
Guess that means you've never had Trappey's brand Field Peas either? Trappey's is another good brand of canned vegetables.
I have seen a few Trappy's cans at a nearby IGA..
Pickled jalapenos or something like that.

Jan just made some the other day with andouille and home smoked tasso added for additional flavor. I'll see if she has a recipe or just winged it. (Think black-eyed pea jambalaya)

Dang Pat that looks good!
Squirt... I think Meijer has Glory BEP...
I usually get Bush's -- but I season 'em myself with my own TOP SECRET TRICK.
(Hint: it rhymes with a town in Georgia ;D )

Sure glad we got THAT squared away.
Now you can just look at me sideways about everything else!
Pat, here you go.
Jan's Hoppin' John
In a stock pot or dutch oven, brown 1 pound sliced andouille or smoked sausage. Add 1 large diced onion and saute. Add a finely chopped jalapeno. Add 3 cans of black-eyed peas and 2 cups of cooked rice. Jan used brown rice. Lastly, add 1 can of chopped tomatoes. You can season accordingly with something like Soileau's if needed. ;) Heat until all is heated through. Serve it up with some cornbread and you're good to go!
That sounds great!
wyoduke, were those smoked black eyed peas the dried black eyed peas as opposed to canned or fresh?
Ya they were like peanuts
