Vegetarian Hoppin’ John

2 15 oz. cans of blackeyed peas, drained

1 small red bell pepper, coarsely chopped

1 small green bell pepper, coarsely chopped

1 onion, coarsely chopped

1 package vegetarian ham (I like Litelife Smart Deli Baked Ham, but there are many other available brands), chopped into small squares

1 tsp salt (to taste)

2 tblsp olive oil

3 cups cooked brown rice

sour cream

salsa verde

1)  Heat olive oil in a pan.  Add green and red pepper and onion; saute until onion is almost translucent.  Add vegetarian ham and saute for about 2 more minutes.

2)  Add blackeyed peas and salt to the vegetable/ham mixture.  Cook for another 10 minutes on low heat.

3)  Serve over rice with sour cream and salsa.
