1
Begin by cooking the rice. In a medium saucepot over high heat, add the rice and 4 cups of water. Once it comes to a boil, cover the pot, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes. Remove from heat and let it stand, covered, until ready to serve.
2
While the rice is cooking, prepare the black-eyed peas. Place a large skillet over medium heat and add the chopped bacon. Cook until slightly crispy.
3
Add the sliced andouille sausage to the skillet and cook until the sausage begins to brown around the edges.
4
Push the bacon and sausage to one side of the pan and add the chopped onion, celery, bell pepper, jalapeno, and minced garlic. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
5
Stir in the black-eyed peas, chicken stock and fresh thyme. In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, dried oregano and dried thyme. Add this homemade Cajun seasoning to the skillet and stir everything together.
6
Cover the skillet with a lid and let it simmer for 30-40 minutes, or until the black-eyed peas are tender and have absorbed most of the chicken stock. If needed, add a bit more stock to the skillet as the peas cook.
7
Check the seasoning and adjust with salt and pepper if necessary. Sprinkle with the chopped green onions just before serving.
8
To serve, spoon some rice onto a plate and top with the flavorful black-eyed peas and sausage mixture. Enjoy this comforting and delectable dish right away.
