Ingredients
- 1 pound bulk pork sausage (preferably with sage) (recommend Jimmy Dean or Tennessee Pride)
- 1 rib celery diced
- ½ sweet red pepper chopped
- 1 small onion chopped
- 4 cups chicken broth or stock divided use
- 1 package wild brown rice seasoned mix (recommend Zatarain)
- 31.6 ounces canned black eyed peas drained (two 15.8 ounce cans - Bush's brand recommended)
- 29 ounces canned diced tomatoes with liquid (two 14.5 ounce cans)
- 1 cup water
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 6 ounces fresh baby spinach
- Parmesan Cheese shaved, optional
- sliced green onions optional
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium high heat.
- Crumble the sausage into the skillet and cook until all traces of pink are gone.
- Add 1 cup chicken stock, celery, sweet red pepper and onion.
- Stir well, scraping the bottom to release any cooked on bits.
- Cook until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
- Meanwhile, in a large soup or stock pot set over medium-high heat, add the remaining 3 cups of chicken stock, the rice mix with its seasoning packet and the black eyed peas.
- Bring to a boil.
- Add in the sausage and vegetable mixture along with the tomatoes, water, salt, black pepper and red pepper flakes.
- Bring back to the boil, then reduce the heat to low.
- Cover and simmer for 30 minutes or until the rice is done.
- Add the spinach and simmer for an additional 10 minutes.
- Garnish with shaved Parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes and sliced green onion. Serve with cornbread.
Notes
- Use bulk pork sausage, not in casings and not smoked. My preferred brands are Jimmy Dean and Odom's Tennessee Pride.
- Store for up to 4 days in the refrigerator.
- Serve with cornbread or croutons.
