So, how to make Black Eyed Peas with Bacon and Pork?

Steps to make Black Eyed Peas with Bacon and Pork

1	Overnight soak of peas
If using dried black-eyed peas, place in a large pot and cover with about 4 inches of water. Soak overnight, then drain and rinse.
2	Quick soak of peas	1h
If you do not have the time to soak peas overnight, you can quick-soak them instead. Place peas in a pot with water and bring to a boil. Cook for 2 minutes, remove from heat, cover pot and set aside for 1 hour. Drain and rinse.
3	Cook pork	5
In a large pot over medium-high heat, heat oil and add pork. Cook on all sides for about 4-5 minutes until browned.
4	Add bacon, onion and garlic	8
Add bacon, onion and garlic and cook for another 6-8 minutes until lightly browned.
5	Season	2
Season with salt, black pepper, cayenne and garlic powder and coat the mixture. Cook for a further 2 minutes until fragrant.
6	Add stock and water	30
Add stock, water and bay leaves and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat and simmer, covered, for about 30 minutes.
7	Add peas	1h
Once the pork is cooked and beginning to break apart, remove the lid and add the soaked peas. Shimmer, uncovered, for about 1 - 1½ hours until peas are cooked and very soft.
8	Serve
Season to taste and add some hot pepper vinegar, if you wish, before serving!
