Tofu With Rice and Black Eyed Peas image

I converted this from a chicken ricipe and eliminated most of the fat as well. It has a slight bite to it from the red pepper flake and a hint of chicken from the seasonings. An excellent choice if you are vegetarian or just trying to reduce calories and fat while increasing nutrition.

water, for steaming
1 red onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
14 ounces firm tofu (pressed for 30 minutes)
1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon thyme
3/4 cup uncooked long grain rice
1 teaspoon chicken bouillon
1 (15 ounce) can black-eyed peas, drained

Steps:

  • Pour broth and enough water to make 2 cups into small pot. Add bouillon, rice, red pepper flakes, thyme and salt. Bring mixture to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat, cover and cook according to package directions.
