My sassy coworker, dear friend and neighbor, Dina, definitely has it when it comes to cooking. I have been fortunate enough to taste many of her meals. Her peas & rice recipe is delicious and super healthy! Dina is a straight shooter in life and in cooking. I'm just going to let her Directions speak to that.
Ingredients
Rice (1-2 cups)
Peas (1-2 bags frozen)
1 can stewed tomatoes
Couple tomatoes - cut
Half-onion - cut
Butter
Some garlic
Baby carrots cut (optional)
Cilantro handful (optional)
Directions
1. Rice (cook it)
2. Peas and Tomatoes
Ok, in a pot - melt butter
Put in onion - fry
Add carrots and cilantro
Let cook/fry a bit
Then add fresh tomatoes
Add salt (generous)
Add frozen peas
Pour can of tomatoes on top
Let boil, stir some
After about 15 minutes simmering lower a bit, put lid on but slightly open
About 30 minutes in, put another piece of butter and mix around
About 45 minutes it’s done. Let it cool. It’s better to cool off quite a bit.
Serve with rice
Side of yogurt or feta
Done, mk?
