Hoppin John!

Happy 2014!
The following recipe uses leftover black eyed peas from the good ol' New Years dinner.
I love a good hoppin' john any time of year and this one is super quick and easy. A great go to work night dinner.


Ingredients:

1/4 onion: diced
1/2 red bell pepper diced
1 jalepeno diced
1 andouille sausage: diced
1 heaping cup full of black eyed peas
2-3 Tbsp EVOO
1/2 cup leftover cooked white or wheat rice


Heat EVOO in large skillet to medium high heat. Saute peppers and onion for 2-3 minutes. Add andouille and sauté another 2-3 minutes. Add peas and rice to pepper and onion mixture. Combine and allow to heat through for 5-10 minutes.
Serve!
2 hearty servings OR 4 small portions that you could serve with a side salad.

Tips:


  • No leftover black eyed peas? Substitute a 15 oz can of peas: drain and rinse first! 
  • Go ahead and dice all of your bell pepper. Toss the extra pepper in a freezer ziploc and freezer for another meal. 
  • I buy a 4 pack of andouille sausage. Freeze them individually and you have sausage for 4 different meals!
