Ingredients:
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 small onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup of dried black-eyed peas
1 cup uncooked brown rice
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon pepper
Instructions:
- In a deep sauce pot, sauté onions and garlic in olive oil for 1 to 3 minutes, until translucent (do not brown).
- Add dried black-eyed peas, salt, brown rice, and 4 cups of fresh water to the pot and bring to a boil.
- Lower heat to simmer, and add the cayenne and black pepper. Cook for 45 minutes, covered, adding water as needed.
