Basmati Rice, Black-Eyed Peas and Sunflower Seeds



Serves 8

Mushrooms and red bell peppers combine with black-eyed peas in this flavorful vegetarian entrée. Sunflower seeds add a crunchy finish, but pumpkin seeds taste great with this dish, too.

Ingredients

2 cups raw basmati rice (I used brown rice)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil or canola oil 
1 medium yellow onion, chopped 
1 (8-ounce) package button mushrooms, sliced 
1 red bell pepper, cored, seeded and chopped 
Gluten-free tamari to taste 
6 cups cooked black-eyed peas* (or 4 (15-ounce) cans, rinsed and drained) 
Salt to taste 
1/4 cup roasted sunflower seeds

Method

Cook rice according to package instructions. 

Meanwhile, heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion, mushrooms, red pepper and tamari. Cook, stirring often, until mushrooms release their liquid, about 7 minutes. Add black-eyed peas and salt and cook until heated through, about 5 minutes. Spoon black eyed-pea mixture over cooked rice, garnish with sunflower seeds and serve.
