Chef's Notes

How to Store & Reheat this Vegetarian Hoppin John

Fridge: Spoon any leftovers into an airtight container and pop it in the fridge. It’ll stay good for up to 4 days. 
Freezer: Once cooled, store in freezer-safe containers or bags for up to 3 months. I like to portion it out so I can grab just what I need. Thaw it overnight in the fridge before reheating.
Reheating: Warm it up on the stove over medium heat, adding a splash of veggie broth or water to loosen it up. You can also microwave individual servings!

I love black eyed peas, and not just for New Year's Day either, very nice dish, a new one for me, so thank you!

AF ★ 5.0/5

Delicious! Your recipes do not disappoint. I made as directed although I accidentally added tablespoons of the base rather than just of diluted stock (two tablespoons of just stock itself doesn't seem like it would add much flavor at all) and I had a moment of panic about that but it worked anyway.
