Dinner Tonight: Senegalese Rice And Peas Recipe

1. 1

   In a large bowl, cover peas with warm water and let stand twenty minutes, then drain. Place the soaked peas in a food processor and pulse a few times, just enough to loosen the skins. Cover with cold water and the skins should float to the top. Pour them away and discard.

2. 2

   Transfer peas to large saucepan and cover with 1 quart of water. Bring to a boil then simmer until tender, about 30 minutes.

3. 3

   Add rice to the pot and continue simmering, covered, for 15 minutes.

4. 4

   In the meantime, combine the onion, pepper, and fish sauce in a blender and blend into a puree. Stir mixture into the pot and simmer until the rice is tender, adding more water if necessary. Stir in the oil and serve.
