Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 1/2 cups (or more) chicken stock or canned low-salt chicken broth
2 cups dried black-eyed peas
2 bay leaves
3 teaspoons minced fresh thyme
1/8 teaspoon plus 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 1/4 cups water
2/3 cup long-grain white rice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup corn oil or olive oil
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 cup chopped red and/or yellow bell pepper
1/2 cup chopped red onion
Red lettuce leaves

Steps:

  • Combine 6 1/2 cups stock, black-eyed peas, bay leaves, 2 teaspoons thyme and 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper in heavy large saucepan. Bring to boil. Reduce heat; simmer uncovered until black-eyed peas are tender, adding more stock if necessary to keep peas submerged and stirring occasionally, about 1 1/4 hours. Drain well; discard broth and bay leaves. Transfer black-eyed peas to large bowl.
  • Bring 1 1/4 cups water to boil in heavy medium saucepan. Add rice and salt. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to low; cover and cook until rice is tender and water is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Transfer warm rice to bowl with black-eyed peas.
  • Whisk oil, vinegar, 1 teaspoon thyme and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne in small bowl. Add dressing to black-eyed pea mixture; toss. Stir in bell pepper and red onion. Season with salt and pepper. Chill at least 45 minutes and up to 6 hours.
  • Arrange lettuce on plates. Spoon salad into lettuce leaves and serve.
