Ingredients:
maybe 2 cups??? 5 month old dried black eyed peas leftover from new year's eve.
1 cup dried quinoa (1 year old giant bag from costco)
2 cans of chopped tomatoes (fire roasted)
1 can of corn
1 carton of vegetable stock
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 yellow or white onion, chopped
1 avocado
4 cloves of garlic
1/8 cup olive oil
several dashes of ground chipotle pepper
equal dashes of ground cumin
some salt
half a beer, whatever you are drinking while cooking. I was drinking Magic Hat #9. I promise I only had the one.
Directions:
Soak black eyed peas in water for 48 hours, because the meal you planned for yesterday didn't happen so you are making it tonight. Drain and rinse thoroughly. Or don't. Whatever
In a pressure cooker add soaked beans, most of the carton of veggie stock and a bit of water. Be sure not to fill above the halfway point.
Process for 20ish minutes after it starts steaming
Release pressure and add bell pepper, onion, 2 cups dried quinoa, 1 can of fire roasted tomatoes, the rest of the veggie stock, cumin, chipotle pepper, salt, and half a beer.
Process for another ?? minutes while watching Trading Places (1983, Starring Eddie Murphy, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Dan Aykroyd)
Right about the time 24 year old Jamie Lee Curtis's glorious breasts get put away, check on the pressure cooker and realize there is a terrible stench emanating from the kitchen.
Panic and remove the cooker from the burner and release pressure as quickly as safely possible. Open top and frantically salvage remaining un-charred portion of the dinner by pouring into a ceramic casserole dish.
Attempt (unsuccessfully) to cover up the indelible burnt dinner smell with 1/8 cup of fresh olive oil, 4 cloves of minced garlic, and another can of fire roasted tomatoes.
Garnish with fresh avocado slices, and hot sauce. Serves 2 for several days.
Pairs well with oven roasted potatoes.
Wait 24 hours to realize that you never added the can of corn. (add it anyway because YOLO)
