    List of Ingredients




    1 pound dried black-eyed peas, rinsed and picked over
    1 1/2 pounds spicy pork sausage
    1 large green pepper, chopped
    1 large onion, chopped
    6 cloves garlic, minced
    2 tablespoons crushed red pepper flakes
    1 teaspoon ground cumin
    1 teaspoon dried thyme
    freshly ground pepper
    3 cups brown rice
    6 cups beef broth
    salt

    Recipe



    1. Combine the black-eyed peas and enough water to cover them by an inch in a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and let sit for one hour.

    2. In a large Dutch oven, saute the sausage, pepper, onion and garlic over medium heat until the sausage is thoroughly browned. Pour off all excess fat. Drain the beans and add to the Dutch oven with two quarts of water. Mix in all of the spices, except for the salt (it makes the beans tough). Bring the mixture to a boil, cover, reduce the heat and gently simmer for 70 minutes, or until the beans are tender.

    3. Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan or microwave-proof dish mix the rice, broth and salt to taste. Cook the rice as directed on the stovetop or microwave until light and fluffy. Stir the rice with a fork and place in a serving dish. Pour the pea mixture over the top and serve immediately.
