1 pound (about 2 cups) dried black-eyed peas
water for soaking peas
6 cups water
½ pound smoked ham hocks
1 onion, chopped
1 teaspoon ground red pepper, more or less to taste

INSTRUCTIONS:
In a medium bowl, soak the black-eyed peas in water over night.
Drain peas in colander and discard soaking water. Put peas in medium saucepan and cover with 6 cups water. Add ham hock, onion, and 1 teaspoon ground red pepper, more or less to taste, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer and stir. Cover and cook until the peas and meat are tender, 1 to 1½ hours.
