So I hope all of my readers are doing well. Anyway- I have a new recipe for you:

Black Eyed Peas and Greens over Brown Rice

You will need 1 cup of brown rice - fix according to the directions- may take 5 minutes or 40 depending if you have the quick cook versus the slow cook variety- the slow cook has the full grain and has more fiber but does take patience.

Other ingredients:

1 tbsp canola oil
1/4 onion ( chopped)
2-3 cups of chopped fresh greens ( turnip, mustard, collard- your choice) or use frozen ( 1/2 bag)
8 oz broth ( chicken or veggie - low or non fat)
1 can ( drained) or 2 cups of black eyed peas ( already cooked)
garlic powder or garlic salt or 1 clove of fresh garlic chopped
1/4 cup balsamic or red wine vinegar
bacon bits (or cooked and chopped veggie, turkey or real bacon)
1-2 tsp of Sriracha ( or use red pepper flakes)

Directions
Saute chopped onions in the canola oil on medium heat. When tender or see through add greens. Stir and saute 2-3 minutes until wilted. Add broth then beans and remainder of ingredients. Let bubble and then lower heat to simmer for at least 5 minutes. Salt and pepper to taste.

Ladle over cooked brown rice and enjoy.
