Time 40m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 (30 ounce) cans black-eyed peas
1 (15 ounce) can coconut milk (I use lite)
1 1/2 cups rice (Jasmine is the best for this)

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.

Tips:

  • Look for ripe avocados: A ripe avocado will be dark green or almost black with a slight give when pressed. Avoid avocados that are too hard or too soft.
  • Use fresh black-eyed peas: Fresh black-eyed peas are best, but you can also use canned or frozen black-eyed peas. If using canned, rinse and drain them well before using.
  • Chop the vegetables evenly: Chopping the vegetables evenly will help them cook evenly. You can use a food processor to chop the vegetables if you want to save time.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: The vegetables should be cooked until they are tender, but not mushy. Overcooking the vegetables will make them lose their flavor and texture.
  • Season the salsa to taste: The amount of salt, pepper, and lime juice you add to the salsa will depend on your personal preference. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.

Conclusion:

This avocado and black-eyed pea salsa is a delicious and healthy snack or appetizer. It's also a great way to use up leftover avocado and black-eyed peas. The salsa is full of flavor and texture, and it's perfect for dipping tortilla chips, vegetables, or crackers. So next time you have some leftover avocado and black-eyed peas, give this salsa a try!
