Quick Hoppin' John

Ingredients

• 1 c. long-grain white rice
• 2 tbsp. olive oil
• 6 oz. andouille sausage, sliced into half-moons
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 medium green pepper, cut into 1/4-in. pieces
• 1 large clove garlic, finely chopped
• 1 jalapeno, thinly sliced
• 2 15-oz. cans black-eyed peas
• 3 c. baby spinach

Directions

1. Cook the rice according to package directions.
2. Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, tossing once, until browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
3. Return the pan to medium heat and heat the remaining tablespoon oil. Add the onion and cook, covered, for 4 minutes. Add the pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, 5 to 6 minutes.
4. Stir in the garlic and jalapeno and cook for 1 minute. Add the beans and 1/2 cup water and cook until heated through.
5. Return the sausage to the skillet along with the spinach and cook until beginning to wilt, about 2 minutes. Serve over the rice.
