Black-Eyed Pea Gumbo

This black-eyed pea gumbo is a wintertime favorite at our house. We always have it for New Year’s Day while we watch football! Serve with a tossed salad and cornbread.

You will need:

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 medium green bell pepper, chopped
• 5 stalks celery, chopped
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup brown rice
• 4 (15 ounce) cans black-eyed peas with liquid
• 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chiles
• 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes

Instructions:

Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, pepper, and celery; cook until tender.

Pour in chicken broth; stir in rice, black-eyed peas with liquid, diced tomatoes with green chiles, diced tomatoes, and garlic. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 45 minutes, or until rice is tender. Add water if gumbo is too thick.
