Ingredients

2 cup vegetable broth
¾ cup uncooked regular brown rice
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 cup chopped yellow and/or red bell peppers
1 cup thinly sliced carrots
1 cup frozen whole kernel corn
2 tablespoon finely chopped shallot
4 cloves garlic, minced

Directions

In a medium saucepan combine broth and rice. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, 35 to 40 minutes or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
Meanwhile, in a 12-inch skillet heat oil over medium. Add bell peppers, carrots, corn, shallot, and garlic. Cook 6 to 8 minutes or until peppers are tender, stirring occasionally. Stir in thyme, ground chipotle pepper, and salt. Cook and stir 2 minutes more. Stir in tomatoes and black-eyed peas. Remove from heat.
Stir cooked rice into black-eyed pea mixture. Sprinkle with parsley.
