The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.


1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 pound andouille sausage, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
3 medium yellow onions, chopped
1 large red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 bay leaf
2 cans (14.5 ounce size) low-sodium beef broth
2 cans (15.5 ounce size) black-eyed peas, rinsed and drained
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley leaves
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 cups hot cooked rice
In a large Dutch oven, add oil and heat over medium-high heat. Once oil is hot but not smoking, add sausage and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, around 5 to 7 minutes.
Pour off excess fat. Add onions and pepper and cook until onions are golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes.
Add bay leaf, broth and black-eyed peas to pot, stirring well. Add chili powder, cumin and thyme. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to low. Simmer uncovered for 25 minutes.
Add parsley and salt, stirring well. Serve hot over cooked rice.
