I do not like beans in any way, shape or form. That said, my fiancee found it very amusing when I ate this dish every day for lunch during our vacation in the Bahamas. It wasn't until we returned that he let me know these 'peas' were actually beans!! Ingredients:
1 cup pigeon peas |
2 cloves garlic |
5 sprigs fresh thyme |
2 cups rice |
1 red pepper, diced |
2 scallions, chopped |
1/2 cup cut bacon |
1 tablespoon tomato paste |
salt and pepper |
Directions:
1. Boil peas in medium saucepan with 5-6 cups of water.
2. Cook for 45 minutes or until tender and set aside.
3. Fry bacon in a medium pot with the scallions, garlic, and red pepper.
4. Saute for 3- 5 minutes and add salt, pepper, thyme, and tomato paste.
5. Add peas and 4 cups of the water that was used to boil them in.
6. Bring to a boil and add rice.
7. Reduce heat, cover tightly, until most all of the water has evaporated.
