Steps:
- Rinse the dried peas several times in clean water. Place in a large pan or bowl and cover with water. Let the peas soak while you cook the pork. Place the hog jowl or ham hock in a large stock pot and add the water. Bring to a boil then reduce the heat to a strong simmer. Let cook, uncovered, for 90 minutes. Drain the peas and add to the pork along with the onion, chile pepper, sugar, and salt. Add additional water if needed to cover the peas. Cover the pot and let simmer for 2 hours, or until the black eyed peas are tender and the pork is cooked through and falling off the bone. Remove the pork from the pot and let cool enough until it can be handled. Remove the meat from the bone and dice it. Return the meat to the pot. Simmer for a little longer until the mixture is thick and most of the liquid has cooked off. Remove the chile pepper then serve over rice.
HOG JOWL AND BLACK EYED PEAS
Traditional New Years food in the South - I thought I would post my mother's and grandmother's recipe for this dish. It's simple and plain. My mother liked to cook black eyed peas because they do not have to be soaked first. Bacon or ham can be substituted for the hog jowl if you can't find it. But try the hog jowl if you can -...

Steps:
- 1. Wash and sort black eyed peas, removing any hulls or stones. Drain well, set aside.
- 2. In a large dutch oven, cook hog jowl in the bacon grease over medium heat until browned and crispy. Add drained black eyed peas and enough water to cover.
- 3. Bring to a boil, lower heat, and simmer covered about 1 1/2 hours. Add water as necessary to keep peas covered, but not to make soup. This should be more of a thick stew consistency. Stir to prevent sticking on bottom. If it starts sticking, lower heat.
- 4. Uncover, stir in chopped onion, and continue to simmer about 30 minutes, stirring frequently, until onion is soft. Add salt and pepper to taste. You may not need much salt because hog jowl tends to be salty. But be sure to make it peppery.

HAWG WILD BLACK-EYED PEAS
This is my own variation on the traditional New Year's meal, but really takes it up a notch. I usually end up making it a lot each winter. If word gets out to friends that I'm making this, I don't have leftovers. Serve with corn bread. I sometimes use some of the hog jowl instead of bacon. Slice it thin and then chop into small pieces, and just leave it in the pan while cooking the Trinity (onion, celery, and bell pepper).

Steps:
- Wash the peas in a strainer, and soak them for 4 hours in ample fresh water. When ready, heat olive oil over medium-high heat in a 4-quart pot, and brown the hog jowl on both sides. (If using bacon, omit the olive oil, and simply render the fat in the pot for 5 minutes.) Add onion, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add 6 cups water, black pepper, red pepper and salt, and bring to a boil.
- Let mixture boil 10 minutes, and then add peas. Maintain a low boil, uncovered, until peas are nearly tender (25 minutes for black-eyed peas, 30 minutes for field peas). In a bowl, lightly crush tomatoes, and add to pot. Add rice to pot, reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, 20 minutes.
- Turn off flame, and allow hoppin' John to steam in pot, lid on, for 5 minutes. If using hog jowl, remove from pot, and shred meat. Fluff hoppin' John, and add shredded jowl. Serve.
