Method

For the Sea Island Red Pea Hoppin' John

  1. 1

    Cook the Peas

    In a pot, add the Sea Island red peas and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 30 minutes until tender.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion, garlic, and green bell pepper. Sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Combine and Cook Rice

    Add the sautéed vegetables to the pot with peas, then stir in the rice. Cover and cook on low heat for an additional 20 minutes or until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

For the Bacon Vinaigrette

  1. 4

    Prepare the Vinaigrette

    In a bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, and crumbled bacon. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking to emulsify. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

For the NC Trout

  1. 5

    Prepare the Trout

    Pat the trout fillets dry and season both sides with salt and black pepper. Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice.

  2. 6

    Cook the Trout

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the trout fillets for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until cooked through and golden brown.
