For a richer flavor, consider using smoked ham hocks instead of diced ham. Simmer them with the peas and remove the hocks before serving. If you prefer a vegetarian version, omit the ham and add a teaspoon of smoked paprika for a smoky flavor. Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley or a dollop of sour cream, if desired. Soaking the black-eyed peas overnight can reduce cooking time.
