Cooking Instructions
1. Prepare the Black-eyed Peas
Soak the black-eyed peas overnight in water. Drain and rinse before using.
2. Sauté the Vegetables
In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil or bacon grease over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, green bell pepper, and celery. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Cook the Dish
Add the soaked black-eyed peas, rice, water or chicken broth, thyme, salt, black pepper, and bay leaf to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 30 minutes or until the rice is cooked and the peas are tender.
4. Finishing Touches
Remove the bay leaf and adjust seasoning with salt and hot sauce to taste. Serve warm.
