Black-eyed peas, an Old World plant from Africa, are used in every continent. ➡️ The uses range from New Year's traditions to nutritional value, to making meals that just taste great. Today we will pair it with brown rice, a whole grain with more nutrients and fiber than white rice, and several other ingredients for an easy, one-pot vegan meal. No matter where you are in the world, in a suburb, a highrise, or on a farm, there’s something about the plinking sound of dry beans that makes you feel reconnected with nature. ➡️ In fact, this meal is completely natural and contains no processed food or preservatives. The slow blending and stewing of cumin, garlic, paprika, onion, thyme, and other herbs will fill your house with an incredible aroma. 💬 Do you have a favorite black-eyed bean or brown rice recipe?

Also, wash and soak the brown rice for 1 hour before cooking. To heated pot add olive oil, onion, salt and fry until the onion starts to caramelize. Adding salt to onion will release it's moisture and help it cook faster so don’t skip it. Reduce the heat to low or medium-low and add garlic and fry for another 1 minute or until fragrant. Now add thyme, ground cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper and mix. Add the strained tomatoes/Passata and mix well. Add the soaked/strained/rinsed brown rice and beans, carrots, salt, vegetable broth, water and give it a good stir. Increase the heat and bring to a vigorous boil. Once it starts to boil, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 50 to 55 minutes or until the rice and beans are cooked to your liking. DO NOT over cook, we don't want mushy rice. Uncover and increase the heat to medium-high and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes or to the desired consistency. Turn off the heat. Garnish with parsley, black pepper, lemon juice, olive oil. Mix well and taste for seasoning. Cover the lid and let it rest for about 5 minutes for the flavours to blend. Serve hot. The stew thickens as it cools down. If the stew gets too thick, add boiling water to thin it out, DO NOT ADD COLD WATER. ▶️ IMPORTANT NOTES: 👉 Soak the beans really well for 8 hours or overnight and soak the rice for 1 hour before cooking 👉 If you are using long grain brown rice adjust the cooking time accordingly, because long grain brown rice cooks faster than the medium grain rice 👉 Adding salt to onion will release it's moisture and help it cook faster so please don’t skip it 👉 Turn the heat to medium-low to low before adding the garlic and spices, this will prevent it from burning 👉 Cooking time depends on the type of pot being used, heat of the stove, freshness of the ingredients etc. so use your judgement and adjust the cooking time accordingly 👉 If the stew gets too thick, add some boiling water to thin it out, DO NOT ADD COLD WATER. *********** Welcome to the Official YouTube Channel of Food Impromptu!
