Instructions
Soak peas overnight. Place the peas and water in a medium saucepan and discard any peas that float. Add red pepper, ham hock, onion, and green pepper and simmer gently for 45 minutes until peas are tender but not mushy. Approx 2 cups of water should remain. Add the rice, cover and cook for 20 minutes. Do not lift the lid or stir during this time! Remove from heat and let stand covered another 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork and serve.
