Black Eyed Peas with Coconut Rice and Avocado Salsa image

Give it a shot! One of our very favorite household staples for years. Great flavors come together to become more than the sum of it's parts! I'd never tried black eyed peas before eating this. Their earthy flavor is perfect when combined with these other ingredients. An easy to throw together, casual weeknight meal that needs no other accompaniment.

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 (30 ounce) cans black-eyed peas

2 large tomatoes or 4 small tomatoes, cut into large dice
1/2 small red onions or 1/2 small white onion, chopped

1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese, grated

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a pan, add rice and toast over medium heat, stirring, until the rice begins to turn a light golden brown.

  • Heat black eyed peas in a separate saucepan.
  • Combine vegetables and cilantro to create a coarse salsa.
  • Add lime juice, if using, and season with salt and pepper.
