🧂 食材
- 1 cup Pigeon peas(dried, soaked overnight or canned and drained)
- 2 cups Long grain white rice(rinsed until water runs clear)
- 4 strips Bacon(chopped)
- 1 medium Yellow onion(chopped)
- 0.5 medium Green bell pepper(chopped)
- 2 cloves Garlic(minced)
- 2 tbsp Tomato paste
- 5 sprigs Fresh thyme(leaves stripped)
- 4 cups Water

- 0.25 medium Optional: Habanero pepper(pierced with a knife (for heat))
👨🍳 步驟
- 1
If using dried pigeon peas, boil them in water until tender (about 30-40 minutes). Drain and set aside, reserving about 1 cup of the cooking liquid. If using canned peas, drain and rinse them.
- 2
In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon, leaving the rendered fat in the pot.
- 3
Add the chopped onion and green bell pepper to the bacon fat. Sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
- 4
Stir in the tomato paste, thyme leaves, salt, pepper, and optional browning sauce and habanero pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the tomato paste darkens slightly.
- 5
Add the cooked pigeon peas (or canned), the reserved pea liquid (if using dried peas), and the 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil.
- 6
Stir in the rinsed rice and the crumbled bacon. Bring the mixture back to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover tightly, and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until most of the liquid is absorbed.
- 7
Turn off the heat and let the rice steam, covered, for another 10-15 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving.

- ✓Rinsing the rice is crucial to remove excess starch and prevent it from becoming sticky.
