Peas n’ Rice – Bahamas Style
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 can (15 ounces) Pigeon peas, drained and rinsed well (I purchased mine on Amazon, but most Fiesta grocery stores should have them)
- 1 cup white rice
- 1 cup green bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup yellow onion, diced
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Badia Season Complete Seasoning (I purchased on Amazon) or sub salt + pepper to taste
- 1 ¾ cup water
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a high-sided skillet
- Add bell pepper and onion and sauté for about 3 minutes, just until vegetables begin to soften
- Stir in rice, thyme and seasoning mix. Stir well to ensure rice is coated with all the vegetables and seasonings
- Add water, bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for about 15 minutes, until no liquid remains
- Turn off heat, fluff rice and allow to sit covered for about 15 more minutes
- Stir in Pigeon peas and serve
