My blackeyed peas are extraordinary! Let me see if I can remember what I did.

• I soaked the peas over night.
  
• In the morning I drained them, added 2 cans of chicken broth. Seasoned with Italian seasoning, paprika and a bit of chile powder. Started simmering.
  
• In a separate pot, began boiling the hell out of a ham hock.
  
• To the simmering peas added chopped onions, chopped green pepper. Added two sliced precooked cajun sausages.
  
• Added a can of diced tomatoes.
  
• After several hours, took the hamhock and cut the meat and some fat off, chopped, added to peas, along with some broth from its pot.
  
• Let it all simmer to reduce the liquid.
  
• Dug in. Incredible!
