Yummy recipe. I used only 1 cup of cooked brown rice and subbed some homemade spaghetti sauce for the tomato sauce and added black pepper just before serving. Made 2 servings at 9 ww points per serving. An easy and filling dish. Thanks! -
Yum! What a healthful delightful dish! The cayenne adds just the right amount of kick and the rosemary adds a nice flavorful touch. Next time I will saute the green pepper slightly or let the mixture bubble longer...it was still a little too crunchy compared to the other textures. -
Wonderful, the only thing I added was a teaspoon of sugar. We ate this twice in one week, once with fishcakes which went well. It is also great as a cold salad. -
This recipe was so easy and really good, too! I have a hard time getting the two men in my house to eat veggies, so I have to find ways to "disguise them" - this was perfect; they both loved it! My husband is allergic to tomatoes, so I always substitute canned corn for diced tomatoes, and instead of just dumping everything in to the skillet at once, I sauteed the onions and garlic in butter, then added everything. I also used frozen black eyed peas that I cooked beforehand instead of canned because that's what I had on hand. Thanks for posting!

I was born and raised for the most part in Georgia. Since 1997 I've lived in the beautiful mountains of western NC, where I spend way too much time at work and not nearly enough time camping! I have a partner of 15 years (Lee) and 3 kids--2 grown and 1 teenager still at home. Lee doesn't cook, but she's my cooking cheerleader, and she and my son will always at least try anything I make, no matter what.
Camping is one of my favorite things to do. Other favorite ways to spend my time are doing beadwork, knitting, and making homemade soap. I should also admit that I spend waaaay too much time on the internet, but the bright side of that is that it brought me to Zaar! I spend a ridiculous amount of time here, but I love every minute of it. It's also has helped cure me of my pathological cookbook buying. I used to call cookbooks with full-page glossy photos my food porn. ;-) Now, thanks to all the talented photographers here, I can get all the food porn I want!
I love to read recipes, which most of my friends think is just weird. I suspect, though, that a lot of you don't think it's weird at all! I love to cook, but only when I want to. I also love to entertain and wish I had time to do more of it. I love trying new recipes. I was a vegetarian (vegan, actually) for several years, and that's when I got hooked on trying so many different cuisines. I still love vegetarian foods, but I do eat some meat, fish, and dairy/eggs now. I still try to keep it healthy and eat as little processed food as possible, but I'm not totally strict about it. Sometimes I want some good old junk food--I just try to make it home-made junk, so at least I know what's in it!
My pet peeve is willful ignorance. Grrrr
