Hoppin' John
2 cups dried black-eyed peas
6 cups chicken or vegetable stock
1 celeriac, peeled and diced
2 carrots, peeled and diced
1 large onion, diced
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 bay leaf

Hoppin' John Fritters
2 cups cooked Hoppin' John
1/2 cup oat flour or quick or whole oats ground in a food processor
1 egg, lightly beaten
corn meal for dredging
canola oil for frying
1 tablespoon pureed chipotle in adobo
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

1
In a large stock pot, saute the onions, celeriac, and carrots in olive oil. When softened add beans and stock to the pan, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, and cook for 45 - 50 minutes. Add liquid as necessary. Beans are done when tender. Remove from heat, and season with salt, pepper, and cider vinegar. Serve over rice.
2
Use a fine mesh strainer to strain excess liquid from the beans. Lightly mash the beans, and then stir oats and egg into the beans. If the mixture looks too soupy, add a few more tablespoons of oats. Spread about a half cup of cornmeal onto a plate. Set the plate and bean mixture next to the stove while the oil heats.
3
Heat a 1/2 inch of oil, in a cast iron pan for frying. When the oil is shimmering, drop about a 1/4 cup of the bean mixture onto the cornmeal. Carefully flip and transfer to the skillet. Fry about 3 fritters at a time, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Drain on rack or paper towels.
4
Whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, and chipotle in a small bowl. Taste and adjust chipotle or vinegar if necessary. Serve each fritter topped with a dollop of the aioli.
