Ingredients

2 cups rice
brown, uncooked
½ cup coconut, shredded, unsweetened (desiccated)
*
2 ½ tablespoons vegetable oil
4 cups water
1 cup black-eyed peas
(soaked for 5 hours at least)
3 bay leaves
*
1 onions
medium, chopped
3 garlic cloves
minced
¼ cup vegetable oil
1 chile pepper
small
*
½ sweet red bell peppers
or green
8 ounces tempeh
cubed
1 pinch fennel seeds
*
salt and black pepper
to taste
*
2 scallions, spring or green onions
chopped

Directions

Sauté rice and coconut in the 2½ tablespoons oil for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring constantly.

Add the water and cinnamon stick. Cover the pot and bring it to a rapid boil.

Do not peek at the rice, but when the steam starts escaping, turn the heat down. Simmer for 40 minutes.

Meanwhile, cook the black-eyed peas with the bay leaf in salted, boiling water until tender (only takes about 20 to 25 minutes).

Drain them and remove the bay leaves. Keep warm until the rice and tempeh are ready.

Sauté the garlic and onion with the ¼ cup of oil until the onions soften. Stir in chile and bell pepper.

Sauté for 2 minutes. Add fennel, tempeh, salt, and pepper. Lower heat, but stir frequently til tempeh is crisp and golden.

Combine everything, mixing together well.
