Ingredients

1 1/2 cups brown rice

1 lbs. hot bulk sausage

1 medium onion, chopped

1 clove garlic, minced

1 medium sweet green pepper (optional)

2 (16-oz.) cans black-eyed peas, drained

1 (16-oz.) can chopped tomatoes

1/4 cup water

1 teaspoon chili powder

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Bring 1 1/2 cups water to a boil in a pan with a tight-fitting lid. Stir in 1 1/2 cups brown rice, reduce heat to lowest setting, cover tightly, and let simmer 45 minutes or until tender and water is absorbed.

Meanwhile, break up sausage into a skillet and brown over medium heat until no longer pink. Drain. Stir in onion, garlic, and green peppers and saute 3-5 minutes. Stir in remaining ingredients. Simmer 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
Serve over rice or mix it all together when rice is done. May be served with sour cream and salsa.

You may leave out the sausage for a wonderful vegan recipe or add cheese for more calcium.

Makes 10 servings.
