Hoppin' John | Cajun Black Eyed Peas for the New Year

Happy new year. We are making vegan Hoppin' John - a traditional new years day meal made from black eyed peas. This is how to make vegan black eyed peas. Actually, in this recipe I show you how I make hoppin' john using my home grown pink eye purple hull peas, a relative of the black eyed pea. But it is essentially the same. These are made cajun style with all the flavors of New Orleans. And it is vegan too! I use soy curls for a meaty note in the dish. It is healthy, relatively low fat and delicious. Here's wishing you a very happy and prosperous New Year. Here's to 2022!
Ingredients:
2 cups of dried black eyed peas (or pink eye purple hull peas) - soak at least 8 hours
4 stalks celery
1 med onion
1 large green bell pepper
4 cloves garlic
1 T onion powder
1 T garlic powder
1 T smoked paprika
1 t cayenne pepper
1 T old bay seasoning
1 T poultry seasoning
1/2 cup tomato sauce
4 cups vegetable broth
1 cup dried soy curls (amzn.to/2RlTI2w)
salt and pepper to taste

I used to work at a southern style restaurant (here in PA) & we made a Hoppin' John soup that was my favorite among all of our soups..but I haven't had anything like it since ditching meat 10 years ago - can't wait to give this a try!

[@ThePotThickens]

I'm definitely going to make this recipe SOON! I love beans/peas/legumes of all kinds and the seasonings sound delicious! I don't think I can find soy curls here, but will use instead tofu that has been frozen, thawed and squeezed. Thank you.

[@ThePotThickens]

Tofu should work great. Thanks.

[@FlourEggsYeast]

This was good luck in a pot! I didn't mind the audio at all its the black eyed peas that matter
