Do-Ahead Tip
Measuring all your ingredients and cooking the rice the night before will help you get this dinner done in no time.
Serve With
Need to pump up the heat? Put a bottle of red pepper sauce on the table so guests can add as much fire as they want.
Serve With
Serve with biscuits and fresh fruit for a quick weeknight meal. For any meat lovers in the family, sprinkle 1 slice bacon, cooked and crumbled, onto each individual serving. Or keep it vegetarian, and sprinkle each serving with bacon flavor chips.
Did You Know...
Despite their southern roots, black-eyed peas originated in Asia. These small beige beans with black circular “eyes” are also called cowpeas.
Substitution
Try canned black-eyed peas with jalapeño chilies in this dish. Omit the ground red pepper, or keep it in if you like plenty of heat.
