Ingredients

  • 8 ounces dried black-eyed beans, soaked overnight and drained
  • 2 pints water
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 8 ounces long-grained rice
  • 3 tsps oil
  • 1 medium-sized onion, finely chopped
  • 15 ounces can tomatoes
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Instructions

Place the beans in a large saucepan and pour in the water and 1 tsp salt. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat, partially cover the pan and simmer 1 1/2 hours. Stir in the rice, cover the pan and simmer 15 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small frying pan, heat the oil over a moderate heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 - 7 minutes, or until soft and translucent but not brown. Stir in the tomatoes, cayenne and pepper and remaining salt. Pour the onion and tomato mixture into the beans and rice and stir to blend. Re-cover the pan and simmer for a further 15 -20 minutes or until the rice and beans are tender.
