Rice and Peas | Perfect Side Dish | Meatless
What are we eating? Rice and Peas Y'all. But not just any ole' rice and peas. This rice and peas recipe is a "variation" of southern style #riceandpeas using canned pigeon peas and pantry friendly dry seasonings and guess what? it's meatless!!! This is a slightly healthier version for those who want to reduce sodium and meat intake. This is a go to rice for any occasion, and it's super easy to make. Feel free to add additional spices of your choice or as I always say...stick to the plan :)
Note: *This recipe makes a good amount of rice. You can freeze the rice once it cools and save it for future dinners.

1/4 cup vegetable / canola oil
1 large onion - chopped
2 1/2 cups parboiled rice

Seasonings (approx. 2 tsp. of each)
Accent
Black Pepper
Onion powder
Garlic powder
Beef Bouillon ( 1-2 tbsp)
Gravy Master or browning (2 tbsp.)
*The beef boullion has plenty of sodium so we omit salt in this recipe. You can of course add salt to your liking.
