ingredients
- 2 tablespoons peanut oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 large yellow onion, finely diced
- 2 bay leaves
- 1⁄2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1⁄2 teaspoon dried chipotle powder or 1/2 teaspoon regular chili powder
- 1⁄8 teaspoon ground allspice
- 4 cups frozen black-eyed peas or 4 cups rehydrated black-eyed peas
- 1 teaspoon salt
- fresh ground pepper, to taste
- 1 cup long-grain white rice
directions
- Melt butter with oil in large, heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, bay leaves, thyme, chili powder and allspice. Cook, stirring often, until onion is lightly browned, about 7 minutes.
- Prepare rice by your preferred method.
- Add black-eyed peas to the onion mix; cover with water. Increase heat to medium-high; heat to a boil. Lower heat to a simmer; cover. Cook until peas are just tender, 20-25 minutes, checking pan and adding more water if needed. Uncover; cook over medium heat until water is mostly absorbed, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Remove bay leaves. Serve over rice.
- Note: I used vegetable broth instead of water. My broth had no salt, if you use a commercial broth, cut down on or eliminate the salt.

We liked it! This dish has a lovely flavor. The only problem was that I wanted to use vegetable broth as you suggested, so I added a vegetable bouillon cube. Unfortunately, I should have cut the salt as it turned out a little too salty. I stirred it all together before serving. I will definitely make this again as the combination of spices is really nice.

My screen name is a diminutive in Lithuanian for bread, so you won't be suprised to learn that I love to bake bread. In recent years I have been baking a lot of sourdough breads and have several starters sitting in my refrigerator. But I like to cook a lot of other things, as well, especially from various cultures. The cat wishes I would concentrate on meat and fish... I joined a few years ago but started posting recipes and participating in forums just recently - I wish I had done so earlier. Recipezaar is a great community! Right now I am a co-host for the Breads and Baking and the Eastern Europe forums - I hope to see you there!
