ingredients
1 pound dried black-eyed peas
2 quarts water
1 medium onion, finely chopped

1 can (7 ounce size) diced green chiles
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

directions
Rinse the black-eyed peas and sort through and pick out any stones or foreign objects.
Bring 2 quarts of water to a boil in a deep pan over high heat. Add the black-eyed peas and boil, uncovered, for 2 minutes.
Remove the pan from the heat and let stand for 1 hour, covered. Drain and rinse the black-eyed peas.
Transfer the peas to the crock pot. Add the onion, garlic, green chiles, cumin, black pepper, baking soda, chipotle pepper, and remaining water. Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 4-6 hours or until the peas are tender.
Cook the brown rice as directed on the package. Keep warm.
Remove and discard the chipotle pepper. Stir the cooked rice into the crock pot along with the tomatoes. Turn the crock pot to high heat and let cook for 20-30 minutes. Add salt to taste then serve hot.
