Beans and Rice for the New Year

I usually cook black-eyed peas and rice for luck on New Year’s Day, but I never really love it. The peas get mealy and the rice gets mushy when it’s mixed in together, so this year I decided to branch out and make a variation – hopefully it’ll bring luck as well. I used some beautiful Rebosero beans my cousin gave us for Christmas – they cooked up lovely – added some turkey kielbasa and served the rice on the side instead of mixed in. Of course I had to throw a fried egg on top as well.
