Ingredients:
- 1 Tbs Olive Oil
- 1 clove of garlic, chopped small
- 1/2 cup onion, chopped (or 1 1/2 tsp. onion powder)
- 1/2 cup celery, chopped
- 1/2 cup green bell pepper, chopped
- 1/4 tsp. pepper
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup brown rice
- 2, 15 oz. cans Black Eye Peas, drained and rinsed
- 3 oz. ham (cut into small pieces) OR 3 slices of bacon (cooked crispy and broken up into pieces)
- Adobo seasoning (optional - but I recommend it) :)
In a large skillet, heat olive oil. Saute' garlic, onion, celery, and green pepper for 3 minutes. Add water, chicken broth, and rice, stirring occasionally for a few minutes (until rice just starts to absorb water). Add black eye peas, ham or bacon, and pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes and serve.
