Instructions
  1. In a large pot, add oil and fry onion, Anaheim pepper, and habanero pepper (if using) until golden, about 15 minutes. Add the black eyed peas, stir and sauté for about 5 minutes.
  2. Add 3 cups of water, and simmer covered until the peas are almost done (just slightly hard still). This might take 45 minutes or so. Just taste a bean every once in a while.
  3. Add salt, pepper, and rice. Stir and bring to a simmer. Cook, covered, for about 3o minutes or until rice is done, stirring occasionally.
  4. Add water as needed. The end result should be moister than regular rice, but not soupy (mine is probably drier than it should be). Uncover and let steam dissapate for about 5 minutes. Fluff, stirring in parsley.
