-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 cup chopped onions

2 cloves garlic -- minced

2 cups tomatoes

-- ripe & juicy, chopped

-- plus 1/4 cup water

Heat the oil in a very large skillet or a stir-fry pan. Saute the

onions over medium heat until translucent. Add the garlic and

continue to saute until the onions are golden. Stir in the tomatoes,

basil, and thyme; cook until the tomatoes have softened a bit, about

5 minutes.

 

Add the rice and black-eyed peas, and season to taste with salt

for 15 minutes. If the mixture seems dry, add a bit of water or

cooking liquid from the peas.
