Microwave power level 6
for 6 mins or 400 oven for 25 to 30 mins
Yields approx 2 1/2
Quarts to fill 2 Ready.Chef.GO! bags
8 to 10 ounces Smoked Ham
Hock, large slices
2 Tbs EVOO
3 Cups Onion, sliced
(Opt) 2 or 3 Bay Leaves
(Opt) 1/2 Tsp Allspice
or Pumpkin Pie Spice
(Opt) 2-3 Tsp Smoked
Paprika
1 1/2 Quarts (1 Large
Bunch) Collard Greens, stemmed & 1” dice
1 Quart Black Eyed Peas,
cooked
1 Tbs Molasses or 1 1/2
Tbs Brown Sugar or Both
1 Quart Smoky Black Eyed
Pot Liquor, Broth or Stock*
1/2 Tsp Salt
1/2 Tsp Black Pepper
2 Tbs Lime or Lemon
Juice
Saute the onions w/ the
bay leaves over medium high heat for about 6 mins until tender. Add the optional spices and toss for a
minute. Add the greens, cooked
black eyed peas, sweeteners, pot liquor, salt & pepper. Cook covered over medium high heat for
20 mins, remove cover & cook over high heat for 8 to 10 mins to reduce the
broth. It should be juicy, but not
too runny. Stir in the cooked,
sliced pork & the citrus juice.
Cool & pack into Ready.Chef.GO! bags.
*Ideally remove the meat
from the cooked smoked ham hock & cook soaked black eyed peas with the ham
hock or pork bones for added flavor, reserve the smoky pot liquor for use in
this recipe. If using canned black
eyed peas, you can sub chicken stock.
REHEATING INSTRUCTIONS: Microwave at powder level 6 for 6 mins or
heat in a 400 oven for 25 to 30 mins, or until the pot liquor is simmering
& the beans are hot throughout.
Let rest for 2 mins before opening the bag. The lower power level in the microwave makes for succulent
& juicy pork.
NOTE: Ready.Chef.GO! bags allow for excellent
texture in the microwave & fast high heat cooking in the oven. The results are always succulent &
tender. You’ll taste the
difference.
