I'd never heard of Hoppin' John before I started going to the Meadowlark Restaurant. I ordered it out of curiosity- and I'm so glad I did. The black eyed pea stew has become one of my favorite meals. Chock full of vegetables and spicy, savory flavor. It's a great weeknight meal if you dice all the vegetables in advance. Combine the ingredients before work and you'll have an amazing, healthful stew waiting for you when you get back. Serve over rice, top with extra sharp cheddar cheese and green onions. Sprinkle a little white vinegar before serving- odd, but delicious. - Hilarybee
