1 cup diced onion
1 cup diced carrot
3 cups diced red and green peppers
2 ¼ cup cooked black eyed peas
2-4oz cans mushroom pieces

Cook one cup dried black eyes peas that were soaked overnight in water.  This will be the 2 ¼ cups of cooked black-eyed peas.  It takes about ½ hour for them to cook and another 20-25 minutes for the farro to cook.  Once the black-eyed peas are cooked drain the water. 
 
In the meantime, peel, wash and dice the vegetables.  Drain the mushrooms.  In a large sauce pan or even a dutch oven heat the ¼ cup of olive oil.  Add the vegetables and saute till lightly browned.  Remove from heat.  Add the drained black-eyed peas and the cooked farro.  Add salt and pepper according to taste and mix all the ingredients together.  Pour in a deep dish and serve.  Enjoy!
 
This dish goes well with grilled chicken, fish like salmon, or turkey burgers.
