Hoppin Johns

I got this recipe from my Aunt Lanelle.

Hoppin Johns

Chopped onions
Chopped green and red pepper
Chopped ham steak
Chopped kielbasa
Two cans of black eyed peas
One can of tomatoes with chillies
Chicken broth
Salt and pepper
Hot sauce or red pepper flakes or both

Add some olive oil to the skillet and cook the chopped onions and pepper until they are soft.   Add the meats, the tomatoes, and the broth. Drain the beans into a colander and rinse them, then add those, too.  Add hot sauce and pepper flakes to taste. Salt and pepper to taste.  Bring to boil then gently simmer for approximately thirty minutes.  Serve over cooked brown rice.
