Ingredients
- 1 can diced tomatoes
- 1 can blackeyed peas (drained & rinsed)
- 1/2 package frozen chopped collard greens
- 1/2 lb. ham, cut into cubes (optional)
- 1 cup prepared rice
- 1 t. sugar
- garlic powder
- dried onion
- shredded cheese (optional)
Directions
In a medium saucepan, combine tomatoes, black-eyed peas and sugar. Add garlic and dried onions to taste. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and allow to simmer uncovered for at least 10 minutes (longer is better). Add collards and ham, continue to cook for another 5-10 minutes, or until collards are cooked. Remove from heat and add rice, mixing thoroughly. Top with shredded cheese after serving if desired.
Variations:
Skip adding the rice, and serve over baked potatoes.
Omit the ham to make this a vegetarian dish.
