We used to make this often, like once a week or so. Haven't made it in a long time but should revisit it again soon.

Ingredients:

• 3/4 cup uncooked white rice
• 1/4 cup green pepper, chopped
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp red cayenne pepper (or more - I used to add 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes also)
• 1 tsp oregano
• 2 cloves of garlic
• 1 (15 oz) can stewed tomatoes, undrained
• 1 (15 oz) can black eyed peas, drained
• 1/2 cup water

Instructions:

1. Mix all ingredients in a 10-12 inch skillet and bring to a boil.
2. Cover, turn the heat down to low and let simmer for 25 minutes or until the sauce is incorporated and the rice is done. Add more water if needed.
3. Serve.
