Black Eyed Peas And Rice With Andouille Sausage Recipes

Steps:

• Place rice in an 8" square microwave-safe dish; cover with water. Microwave on HIGH 6 minutes; drain.
• Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
• Add onion, garlic, and cajun seasoning to pan, and cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in sausage and cook for 1 minute. Add the rice, chicken broth, black-eyed peas, and tomatoes to pan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 4 minutes or until rice is tender. Stir in hot pepper sauce.
• Ladle into serving bowls; top with green onions.

Steps:

• If using dried peas, rinse and soak overnight in water to cover by 3 inches. Drain, and place in a 6- to 8-quart pot with a 1/2-pound piece of the andouille, the ham and the stock. Heat to boiling, then reduce to a simmer. (If using fresh or frozen peas, boil the stock first, then add peas, the 1/2-pound piece of andouille and the ham. Return to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.)
• Heat the bacon grease or oil in a heavy skillet, add the onion and celery and cook until soft. Add to the peas with the garlic and remaining seasonings. Simmer dried peas for 2 to 2 1/2 hours; fresh or frozen for about 30 to 45 minutes. In both cases, the peas should be tender and the liquid should begin to thicken.
• Slice remaining sausage into 1/2-inch rounds. Fry briefly in a nonstick skillet and add to the peas. Remove the whole piece of sausage and the ham and chop roughly; return to pot. Cook for another 15 minutes. Remove the thyme sprigs, bay leaves and pepper pods.
• To serve, ladle pea mixture over rice and sprinkle with green onions, Tabasco and vinegar to taste.

Steps:

• Uncover the skillet; stir in the garlic, thyme and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add the rice and stir to coat. Stir in the black-eyed peas and 2 cups water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Cover and cook until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender, about 18 minutes. Remove from the heat and let sit, covered, 5 minutes.
