Ingredients

1 1/2 cups black-eyed peas
1 quart ham hock
4 slices bacon diced
1 pound crab meat
1 medium sweet red bell pepper diced
1 medium sweet yellow bell peppers diced
1 medium green bell pepper diced
1 large purple onion
3 whole scallions, spring or green onions sliced
1 large tomato seeded and diced
1 teaspoon thyme
4 whole grapefruit sectioned

Directions

Place the drained black-eyed peas in a saucepan with the ham hock broth or water, and bring to a boil.

Reduce the heat and simmer until tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Toward the end of the cooking time, taste the peas and season with salt.

Drain and set aside.

In a skillet, cook the bacon over medium-high heat until all the fat is rendered.

Transfer the bacon to a large mixing bowl and add the crabmeat, vegetables, peas, and herbs.

Mix together until thoroughly combined.

Combine the salad with the vinaigrette.

Mound the tossed salad on a large serving platter, leaving at least 2 inches around the edge of the platter.

Arrange the grapefruit sections around the salad, and garnish the grapefruit sections with the cilantro springs.

Barbequed Ribs

This recipe made my dinner not only delicious but also so simple. I switched sugar for brown sugar on the rub (which is what makes this dish so wonderful). I skipped making the sauce for a bottled version to save time. I never cooked a rack before because I thought it was so difficult to cook. My deli just lost a customer buying racks of ribs; Now, I can do it on my own.
