Recipe - Crowder Peas

1 pack Frozen Crowder Peas
One fourth pound Ham or ham hock
3 One half cup Water
1 Onion Flakes
1 Garlic Powder
1 Cajun Seasoning
1 Salt
One fourth cup Cooking Oil

In two quart pot, add oil, and brown ham or ham hocks. Add water, peas, and
season to taste. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally until peas are
tender (about one hour). Serve hot over rice or corn bread.

Note: All beans, peas may be prepared in the same manner. Dry beans should
be rinsed and sorted in a collander before using. Dry beans require a
longer cooking time than fresh or frozen legumes. Any of your favorite
sausages/seasoning meats can replace ham. Monitor liquids closely while
cooking and add water as necessary to prevent scorching.
