 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  1       x            -Dried black-eyed peas
    1/2                Onion

 1 x Lipton Rice 'n' Sauce Cajun
 1 tb Pepper
 1 x Stew Meat
 1 ts Creole or Cajun seasoning
 1 x Bell pepper
      Cayenne pepper or hot sauce

 Look thru peas for rocks and wash through 3 waters.
 Soak peas in water overnight in fridge.  The next day,
 throw out water they soaked in; some claim this keeps
 beans from giving you a problem, but stay on this diet
 a couple weeks and you won't have a problem anyway. It
 goes away. Wash stew meat and put stew meat and
 pre-soaked peas in big pot on stove and bring to boil,
 with PLENTY of water. Add seasonings to taste. If you
 use Cajun seasoning it contains salt; so don't add
 extra salt!!!! Otherwise, add salt to taste.  When
 stew meat and peas come to a boil, reduce to Medium
 and keep watching to add water so they don't scorch.
 After about 40 minutes add packet of Rice and Sauce,
 preferably Cajun flavor. Start watching the water
 really carefully now, and add a pint from time to
 time. After about 20 minutes of rice cooking, add bell
 pepper, onion, and more seasonings if you need.  (This
 dish is good hot and peppery) Everything should be
 ready at the same time. When test bite shows all is
 ready, eat!
