  • 2 C. sliced okra or 1 (10 oz.) pkg. frozen whole okra, thawed and cut into 1/2-inch slices (optional)

  7. Cover; let stand for 10 minutes or until okra is tender. Remove pork hocks.
  8. When cool enough to handle, cut meat off bones; cut meat into bite-size pieces. Discard bones and bay leaves.
  9. To serve, stir meat into black-eyed pea mixture.
