Number of Servings: 5

Ingredients

    Black-eyed peas
    Gimme Lean or other vegetarian sausage
    Diced tomatoes
    Onions
    garlic
    Long grain brown rice
    vegetable broth

Tips

This is a high sodium dish due to the Gimme Lean, I encourage you to find vegetarian sausage with lower salt content if possible


Directions

Chop the onions and garlic and dice the celery and sautee all three together in a pan coated with cooking spray or broth sautee until soft (about 5 minutes). Add the thyme and sautee on more minute in order to release the flavor.

Add the onion mixture, tomatoes, black-eyed peas and broth to your slow cooker, mix well and turn on low.

At any time prior to the last 15 minutes of your cooking cycle, brown the Gimme lean and prepare the rice according to instructions.

In the last 15 minutes of slow cooker activity add the cooked rice and browned Gimme Lean.
