New Year's Hoppin’ John and Greens with Corn Bread

4.2
5 ratings
The most commonly accepted explanation for the name of this classic New Year’s Day meal is that “Hoppin' John” is a corruption of the French phrase pois à pigeon, meaning "pigeon peas." Traditional Hoppin’ John is a simple affair, just field peas and rice seasoned with a ham hock, and simmered greens on the side. To boost the flavor and substance of our vegetarian version, we’ve added the greens right to the pot, along with mushrooms, vegetables and a bouillon cube.
