Was quite interested to see the recipe for HOPPIN’ JOHN: A TRADITIONAL SOUTHERN DISH FOR NEW YEAR'S DAY. I'm from Guyana, South America originally, now living in Ontario Canada ..and this is a traditional dish cooked for New years day in Guyana also. The dried Black eyed peas can be used also. But it has to be washed and covered in water.. even overnight and then cooked with some salt.. when the beans start to get tender we add rice with seasonings and coconut milk...(milk squeezed fresh form the meat of the dried coconuts) you can also used the canned coconut milk.
