Black-eyed peas are a great source of plant-based protein and we love that, unlike some other dried beans, they will cook up in about an hour without any overnight soaking. Canadian bacon replaces traditional ham hocks to bring a similar smoky meatiness to the legumes. This simple recipe is delicious on its own as a main or side dish while the leftovers easily transform into a variety of other dishes.
