Hoppin Johnnie (with some changes to suit our family)

This is DELICIOUS and even the fussy eater of our family liked it. Because we had eaten a large meal at noon, we only ate this with a Baguette for supper. I think it would be nice eaten rolled up in a soft tortilla as well. YUM...

Ingredients
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
  • 1 (18 ounce) cans black-eyed peas, drained and rinsed
  • 2 cups chicken bouillon or chicken broth
  • 1 cup uncooked rice
  • 1/2 Tsp. crushed red pepper flakes

Directions

  1. Saute onion and garlic in butter until onion is tender.

  2. Stir in black-eyed peas, chicken bouillon, rice, salt, and 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper.

  3. Bring mixture to a boil; cover and simmer 15-20 minutes or until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender (and no peeking....I simmered on lowest heat possible for 15 minutes).

  4. Serve with additional crushed red pepper.
