Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 leftover ham bone plus 2 cups diced ham (10 oz )
  • 2 medium yellow onions (chopped)
  • 3 stalks celery (chopped)
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 7 cloves garlic (minced)

  • Add the garlic and saute for another minute, just until fragrant.
  • Pour in the stock and add the ham bone, ham, black eyed peas increase the heat back to medium-high, and bring to a boil.
  • Stir in the cabbage, collard greens, black pepper, and (if using) cayenne pepper.
