Dang Fine Use for Leftover Holiday Ham

This recipe is my own. I made it up and you will like it.

Dang Fine

2 TBSP. peanut oil (or any oil you've got, remember this recipe is about using what you've got)
1 large onion, chopped
1 large green bell pepper, diced (pretty sure a sweet red pepper would work well, too)
Cubed leftover ham (dice it up small)
black-eyed peas (ham and peas should be in equal proportions)
1 can of Rotelle
sliced leeks, or shallots, or green onions (if you've got any)
Parsley (fresh or dried) for color
1 cup chicken broth/stock (I'm a fan of Better Than Bullion)
garlic (a couple of cloves, minced)
Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce (this is an Asian hot red chili sauce sold in Asian food markets & some health food stores and specialty markets. We call it rooster sauce because there's a rooster on the bottle)

In a big pot, saute the onion, pepper, garlic & leeks in oil. Add ham, Rotelle, peas, & parsley, and simmer until it starts to smell good. Add chicken stock and Sriracha to taste and let cook down to a thick stew consistency. The peas will start to breakdown a bit which thickens the whole thing. Serve with corn bread.
