Ingredients

1 pound dried black-eyed peas 1 pound pork neck bones 3 slices bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces 1 cup diced onion 1 cup diced celery 1 cup diced carrot 3 cloves garlic, chopped 6 cups cold water 1 bay leaf 1 teaspoon dried thyme 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper 1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chile peppers 1 teaspoon salt 6 ounces smoked ham, diced 1 bunch kale, ribs removed and leaves torn into pieces

Instructions

Place black-eyed peas into a large container and cover with several inches of cool water; let stand 8 hours to overnight. Drain and set aside. Cook pork necks and bacon in a Dutch oven over medium heat until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in onion, celery, and carrot; cook and stir until softened, 6 to 7 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook 1 minute. Pour cold water and black-eyed peas into pork mixture; increase heat to high. Stir in bay leaf, thyme, cumin, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Bring mixture to a simmer, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and salt. Simmer uncovered until beans are tender, about 40 minutes. Remove neck bones from mixture; separate any meat from bones, return meat to Dutch oven, and discard bones. Stir in diced ham and kale; cook until greens are tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Serve over rice.
