Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 x -Dried black-eyed peas
1/2 Onion

1 x Lipton Rice 'n' Sauce Cajun
1 tb Pepper
1 x Stew Meat
1 ts Creole or Cajun seasoning
1 x Bell pepper
Cayenne pepper or hot sauce

Look thru peas for rocks and wash through 3 waters.
Soak peas in water overnight in fridge. The next day,
throw out water they soaked in; some claim this keeps
beans from giving you a problem, but stay on this diet
a couple weeks and you won't have a problem anyway. It
goes away. Wash stew meat and put stew meat and
pre-soaked peas in big pot on stove and bring to boil,
with PLENTY of water. Add seasonings to taste. If you
use Cajun seasoning it contains salt; so don't add
extra salt!!!! Otherwise, add salt to taste. When
stew meat and peas come to a boil, reduce to Medium
and keep watching to add water so they don't scorch.
After about 40 minutes add packet of Rice and Sauce,
preferably Cajun flavor. Start watching the water
really carefully now, and add a pint from time to
time. After about 20 minutes of rice cooking, add bell
pepper, onion, and more seasonings if you need. (This
dish is good hot and peppery) Everything should be
ready at the same time. When test bite shows all is
ready, eat!
