Directions: |
Directions:Cover peas with a couple of inches of salted water and bring to a boil. Set aside for an hour to fast-soak. Make a roux the color of peanut butter with the flour and butter (salt and pepper this). Add veggies and the spice and sauté until they start to clear. Add veggies to the pea pot and simmer 45 minutes or so. Slice the sausage and add in for another fifteen minutes or so. While this is simmering rinse the veggie pot and cook a cup or so of rice by the package instructions to serve the Hopin’ John over. Also, as any good Cajun would, mix up some cornbread and cook it up in your cast iron skillet in the oven while you’re waiting for all this to come together! |

Notes: Mike’s note (7.14.2018): I was cooking a pot of Hoppin’ John on a Saturday evening while I put together a copy of this cook book for some friends. Rufus and Sandy Arrington are folks we go to church with that are cooks at a local community kitchen where the three of us volunteer twice a month. I got to thinking that Sandy is from Longview, very close to Cajun country, and that they might enjoy this, so I added it into the book.
