Directions: |
Directions:1. In a tall stockpot cook the bacon until done but not crisp; add the onion, bell pepper, and celery to the rendered bacon fat and cook just until tender. Add the garlic and cook another minute or so. Add ham and cook until lightly browned. Add peas, cook and stir for 2 minutes, then begin to add the water or broth slowly, stirring in a little at a time; bring to a boil. Add ham hocks, jalapenos, salt, pepper, Cajun seasoning and bay leaves.
2. Reduce to a medium simmer and partially cover, cooking for about 1 to 1-1/2 hours or until peas are tender and creamy. Add additional chicken stock or water only if necessary to slightly thin out. Pull any meat off the bone and return to peas; taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve over hot cooked rice. |
