CREOLE BLACK-EYED PEAS AND RICE
An easy spicy dish. Adjust the spices to your needs - less Creole Seasoning if you like it mild, add chili powder or cayenne pepper for more kick! This is also good with salsa on top. You can substitute 1/2 pound dried black-eyed peas, cooked for the canned black-eyed peas if you wish.

Steps:
- HEAT 2 1/2 cups water and dried black-eyed peas; once at FULL BOIL, continue boil for two minutes, REMOVE from heat, cover and let stand for 1 hour.
- Then DRAIN whatever water remains and allow peas to sit uncovered.
- In another saucepan, COMBINE 1 cup water, chicken broth, finely diced onion, finely diced celery, parsley and 2 cans (400g)/3 1/2 cups Diced Italian Tomatoes in juice, mustard, chilli pepper, ginger, black pepper and bay leaves; Bring to a BOIL.
- ADD cooked black-eyed peas.
- COVER and simmer on LOW for 1 hour and 45 minutes; STIR occasionally; If liquid is evaporating too quickly, you can add more water to make sure peas are covered with tomato/water mixture.
- ENJOY!
- NOTE: Is well worth the time to make and freezes WELL!
- NOTE: Remove Bay leaves before serving.
- NOTE: If canned tomatoes do not contain seasoning such as dry Italian seasoning, would suggest you add about 1 tbsp dry Italian seasoning, but is personal preference.
- NOTE: I serve in tortilla wrap with rocket, feta and Golden Door Recipe - Chilli Sauce.
Tips:
- Choosing dried black-eyed peas over canned saves money and yields more peas. Peas should be sorted and washed before cooking.
- To save time, use an electric pressure cooker or a slow cooker. These appliances automate the cooking process and prevent overcooking.
- Add vegetables like bell peppers, onions, celery, and garlic for extra flavor and nutrition. Sauté them until translucent before adding the peas.
- Use low-sodium chicken broth or water to control the saltiness of the dish. You can add more salt to taste later.
- Season the dish generously with spices like cumin, paprika, thyme, and cayenne pepper. Adjust the amount of spices based on your preference.
- Serve the black-eyed peas with cooked rice, quinoa, or cornbread for a complete meal. You can also add a side of collard greens or coleslaw for extra greens.

These Creole-style black-eyed peas are a delicious, versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a main course or a side dish.
