Preparation

Step 1

Heat the oil in a very large skillet or a stir-fry pan. Sauté the onions over medium heat until translucent. Add the garlic and continue to sauté until the onions are golden. Stir in the tomatoes, basil, and thyme; cook until the tomatoes have softened a bit, about 5 minutes.

Add the rice and black-eyed peas, and season to taste with salt and lots of pepper. Stir well, then simmer, covered, over low heat for 15 minutes. If the mixture seems dry, add a bit of water or cooking liquid from the peas. Serve at once.

This recipe yields 4 to 6 servings.
