Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp canola oil 15 mL
- 1 cup diced onions 250 mL
- 1 medium jalapeno, cut into thinly sliced rounds (with seeds)
- 1 cup water 250 mL
- 1 pkg (10 oz/300g) frozen black-eyed peas

- 1/4 tsp dried thyme leaves 1 mL
- 1/2 cup diced tomato 125 mL
- 1/2 tsp salt 2 mL
Instructions
- 1. Heat canola oil in large saucepan over medium-high heat. Immediately reduce heat to medium, add onions and jalapeno, and cook 3-4 minutes or until beginning to turn golden. Add water; bring to boil over high heat. Add peas, 1 tsp (5 mL) vinegar, and thyme. Return to boil.

- Fresh tip: Wearing gloves when handling jalapenos or other hot peppers protects your hands and eyes from coming into contact with pepper substances that can cause a burning sensation.
