This meal is easy and healthy! A new favorite in our household.
Cook 1 cup brown rice according to directions.
For greens, wash thoroughly and remove leaves from stem. Rough chop and saute 1 chopped clove garlic in a dash of olive oil in stock pot. Saute for 3 or 4 minutes, or until greens are just wilted. Add a dash of vinegar (any type) over greens and saute for additional minute. Add 2 cups water or more as needed (greens should be mostly submerged). Add bouillon cube to create broth for greens to cook in. Bring to a boil and then simmer until other parts are ready.
Cook black eyed peas according to directions. Drain beans. Saute onion, garlic and vegan sausage (if desired) in 1 Tbsp olive oil. Create a rue on the side of the pan, by moving veggies to one side and combining 1 Tbsp butter/margarine and 1 Tbsp flour, being careful not to let flour burn. Add 1 cup broth from greens.
Season with a dash of cayenne and a heavy dash of paprika. Also season with salt and pepper.
When all layers are finished cooking, layer in bowl... rice, greens, beans.
