How to Make Spicy Black Eyed Peas And Rice

  1. Rinse the rice under cold water.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the rice and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the water is absorbed.
  3. While the rice is cooking, heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  4. Add the onion and bell pepper and cook until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
  5. Stir in the garlic and jalapeño (if using) and cook for 1 minute more.
  6. Add the cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly.
  7. Stir in the rinsed black eyed peas and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until heated through.
  8. Fluff the cooked rice with a fork and combine it with the black eyed pea mixture.
  9. Serve hot and enjoy!
