Bahamian Peas and Rice

This is a favorite recipe from Green Turtle Cay, Bahamas. All of the locals use it as a staple in their daily diet. I’ve added more tomatoes, substituted sea salt for regular salt, and used brown rice instead of white rice, which gives it a nutty flavor.

*************************************

Sauté one large chopped onion.
One can stewed tomatoes, (optional with green peppers & onions in it).
Add one can rinsed black eyed peas, a.k.a pigeon peas.
Simmer for ½ hour.20-30 minutes before serving add 1 cup brown rice, time depending on the directions of the rice.
Season with Thyme, sea salt, and pepper.
Serve with chicken or fish.

Enjoy!
