Bahamian Peas ‘N Rice
| 6 slices bacon, diced |
| 1 small onion, diced |
| 1 small green pepper, diced |
| 1 stalk celery, diced |
| 1 (15 ounce) can pigeon peas, drained |
| ¼ cup tomato paste |
| 1-cup rice |
| 2 1/2 cups water |
| 1-teaspoon fresh thyme |
| Salt and pepper to taste |
Fry bacon until it is crisp. Add the onion, green pepper, and celery and cook until the mixture is pulpy.
Add tomato paste and cook until most of the liquid has evaporated. Add the drained pigeon peas and all spices and for cook for 2 minutes.
Pour in the rice and add water. Cover the pot tightly and simmer until all the liquid is absorbed, around 15 minutes.
NOTE: This is a recipe from the BEST RECIPES OF THE BAHAMAS cookbook which I got while we were in Marsh Harbor. We liked it better than the recipe we ate there, as this was more moist. I did use basmati rice, as that is the rice we prefer. And the only place around here (Ft. Myers) that carries pigeon peas is Winn Dixie!
