Instructions
  1. Place the dried black eyed peas in a large sauce pan and cover with water. Bring to a boil and let boil 2 minutes.  Turn off the heat and let them sit for an hour, drain. In a large pot on medium heat heat the olive oil.  Add the carrots, onion, bay leaves and red pepper flakes if using.  Saute 3-4 minutes.  Add the drained black eyed peas, veggie broth, salt and pepper to taste and water to cover the peas, approximately 3 cups.  Bring to a boil and reduce heat to a simmer.  Test for seasoning after 30  minutes.  If you like a very firm pea, check at 45 minutes and remove from the heat, there will be some liquid in the pot.  I cook them 1 hour exactly and you get a mushier black eyed pea with very little liquid left  in the pot.  Taste for salt and pepper.  Add the cooked brown rice, greens and hot sauce if you like!  Enjoy!  Serves 4

Broccoli-mushroom pizza

Posted by on Jul 25, 2016 in Uncategorized | 0 comments

Steam or boil broccoli florets 3 minutes, drain and set aside

Add the olive oil to a medium sized pan and add the onions and garlic, sautee over medium heat about three minutes.  Add the mushrooms and saute about three minutes-they should not be fully cooked.  Add salt, pepper, red pepper flakes to taste and remove from the heat, set aside

Heat oven to 425 degrees

Prepare a 10 inch pizza pan with by rubbing olive oil all around the pan and sprinkle with corn meal to cover.  This keeps the pizza from sticking to the pan and adds a nice crunch!

Place uncooked crust in the pan and stretch out to fit to the rims.  Take a fork and dock the dough, which is tapping the fork all around the dough with the tines to keep it from rising unevenly.  Cook ten minutes and remove from the oven.

Add the pizza ingredients on top.  If you are using a premade crust, you will now add the  ingredients as well.

*I do not use tomato sauce but you could use it if you desire.  Take ½ cup of your fave sauce and spread it on the top of the pizza crust before adding the other ingredients.

Place the mushroom onion mixture on top of the pizza bringing it to just the inside of the pizza crust.  It the mushrooms are watery, use a slotted spoon to place them. Add the mozzarella cheese all over the pizza evenly.  Top with the broccoli and press into the cheese.  Spring the parmesan all over and place the pizza into the over for ten minutes.

After the pizza is done, remove from the over and let sit for ten minutes to make it easier to cut

Done and enjoy!  Serves 2-4 depending on how hungry you are!  😉

Collard greens

Posted by on Jan 3, 2016 in Uncategorized | 0 comments

Fill a dutch oven 3/4 with water and place on high heat and bring to a boil.  Rinse collards well and make sure the tough, middle stem is removed.  Use a small pair of kitchen shears to remove it.  Place all ingredients on the dutch oven and once it comes to a boil, bring heat down to simmer, cover, and cook for 2 hours.  Greens will be very tender.  The liquid that remains is called pot likker and is full of nutrients.  Many pour it on the rice with the black eyed peas or drink it on its own. It can be poured over the greens in a bowl as well.

Enjoy, 1 bunch serves 2, 2 bunches 4 people
