- 2 cups cooked Pidgeon Peas
( substitute black eye peas if pidgeon peas are un available in
your area!)
- 3 cups cooked Rice (long grain white or brown)
- 1/2 large onion (chopped)

leaf.)

- 1/8 t black pepper
- 2 t paprika
- 1/2 lb of tempeh (cut into small cubes, and steamed for 12-15
mins)

In a large skillet or frying pan, saute the following in 2 T of extra
virgin olive oil chopped onion, diced celery, black pepper, paprika,
cilantro, and garlic when onions are tender add the tempeh and stewed
tomatoes.
When mixture is reddish color and the tempeh begins to absorb
the color, add the beans and bean liquid.
Let mixture cook for a few minutes until it bubbles up moderately,
making sure to stir frequently to avoid burning it.
Salt the bubbling mixture and taste it making sure that it is slightly
on the salty side!
Fold in rice and stir in skillet until much of the liquid either
cooks away or is absorbed by the rice.
