Made this today. Am posting it because my "good" computer blew up and I am using the old Win 98 to get buy until
they send me a working reinstall disk. Easy adjustment for those who eat meat. Base was the hoppin' john recipe from Giant
Christmas lite section back in 1999. However it became this and I needed a new name. So as I went past a billboard in Harrisburg,
it became Pennsy Black-eyed peas and rice.
SERVES 4
1 cup dried black-eyed peas
1/2 cup yellow onions
1 bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
3 garlic cloves
1 1/2 cups water
2 cups texmati and wild rice
14 1/2 ounces Italian tomatoes, diced
1 tomato, chopped
1 cup sugar snap peas, fresh
pepper, to taste
fat-free cheddar cheese, grated or soy cheese
1. Soak the peas or quick soak. Cook the black eyed peas to the rice, NOT including the rice which is the second step
for approx one hour.
2. Adjust the water if needed to keep the peas covered. Drain, remove the bay leaf. Set aside.
3. Cook the rice according to package directions. Then combine the peas with them and mix gently. add the rest of the
ingredients except the cheese. Salt and pepper to taste.
4. Simmer for until the peas are done or cook them first and add and then simmer 10 to 15 minutes. Serve hot with cheese
on top.
5. Note: If you eat meat add a bit of pork or ham.
