Hoppin' John ala Teri

Hoppin' John ala Teri

2 cans black eyed peas, rinsed

1/4 cup chopped cooked bacon

4 andouille sausages, sliced into coins

1 can Rotel tomatoes, mild

1/2 cup of fresh mushrooms, sliced into ‘sticks’

1/2 cup white wine

3 cup cooked rice (the yield from 1 cup uncooked rice prepared)

Sautee mushrooms in butter until about half done (according to your tastes).  Add bacon and sausage until heated through.  Add Rotel and black eye peas.  Add wine.  Mix gently to not break up peas.  Reduce liquids by half.

From here there are two serving options:

1 Put cooked rice on serving platter.  Make a depression in the rice mound and spoon in black eye pea mix.  OR

2 Fold rice and pea mixture together gently.  Serve in bowl.
