Blackeye Peas continue to feature in my kitchen now that I have rediscovered them. I also haven't had rice for a while and by rice, I especially mean brown rice. So this Creole Hoppin - Jean recipefrom Vegan Soul Kitchen by Bryant Terry appealed to me as it sounded like comfort in a bowl. In between blogging, reading, gardening, cooking, baking - I have also given my cookbook shelf a tidy up. D had commented at how dishevelled and disorganised they were beginning to look. I think he exaggerated by describing them as disorganised, but I agreed that the shelves could benefit from reshelving. And in doing so, I found myself flicking though some old cookbooks - wow I cannot believe Vegan Soul Kitchen cookbook was published in 2009 and that is how long ago I cooked from it. And it hit me, that I too am growing old.
Anyway, this Creole Hoppin - Jean Rice was really tasty and it was comfort food in a bowl. I ate mine with a spoon, whereas D ate his with a fork. Now how do I describe this Creole Hoppin dish to my readers, I hate to do this - comparing different world cuisines to different ethnic cuisines, but I did find this to be a cross between and South Asian Savoury pilau and Italian risotto. It was sweet from the tomato and savoury from the spices.
This Creole Hoppin Rice dish was served with some sauteed chard from the garden, though collard greens would have been more authentic. Other Creole Style Dishes Baked BBQ Peas and Rice
