Good morning, #coffeechain!☕️ Last night we got some much needed rain. This morning I stepped outside and heard the neighbors roosters crowing.🐓 By the time I got to work, the sun was up and the mocking birds were singing. 🪶 Even though it's overcast, it sounds like it's going to be a beautiful full day.😊 Have a good one! image And... does anyone have a good recipe for pigeon peas? I'm new to growing them.🙂 #grownostr #homesteading #homesteadinglife #foodforest

There’s a bunch of different regional foods you can make with them depending on your taste … but as a kid I enjoyed them mixed in with rice and served with stew (Nigerian). Peas & Rice: Separate and wash them Bring a pot of water to boil w/ salt & crushed red pepper. Add the peas add in smoked pork or smoked turkey and let it all boil together (rolling) then add in rice let boil for 2 mins then simmer with a closed lid until water is gone. I can give you a stew recipe in another note if you want but I don’t want to make this note too long.
Morning, i've never grown those, but i would think you could cook them like any other pea? Anyway, sounds like a beautiful morning for you. ☕😊

That sounds yummy! I enjoy lots of flavors, especially new flavors. My husband is a bit picky though. As long as a recipe doesn't have curry, I think I can convince him 😊 Sure, I'd enjoy trying your recipe. Please send in another note. I'll let you know later how we liked it. Thanks!
It’s a doozy but delicious. Materials - food processor, stock pot Optional: crushed crawfish/shrimp shells, bone in chicken, beef bouillon Shopping list: large onion (I prefer Vidalia but any will do) 5 red bell peppers, 1 green bell pepper, 3 tomatoes, 1 head of garlic, kale, protein of your choosing (I like a blend of GFGF Beef and chicken but my dad & uncles prefer goat, chicken wings and beef so it’s what you like), 2 cans of tomato paste, ghee/tallow, bone broth, bay leaves Recipe: chop the onion in half, put half into the processor and dice the other half. Add in the bell pepper, garlic, tomato, and kale. (add in ground crawfish/shrimp here) Top with bone broth and blend until you can no longer see the kale. Set aside. - prep the protein with Salt, crushed red pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion salt, ground mustard, and Worcestershire sauce, parsley. Cover and set aside. - in the stock pot on med heat add the tallow and when it’s really hot add in the diced onion and diced green bell pepper. Cook until softened then add in the tomato paste stir constantly until well mixed. Then add in the contents from the food processor, stir it up, and cover for 3 - 5 mins. Add in the protein. (If it’s not enough base to cover the protein add in bone broth but not too much or it’ll be soupy.) Add a bay leaf. Stir and cover. Check w/ a stir every 20 mins for an hour. Pair with the pigeon peas and rice dish! Enjoy!
