30 minute Hoppin' John

I'm not into meat much, but everybody else in my family loves this when I cook it.

• 1lb hot pork sausage (cooked, chopped into small bits, drained of all the fat you can squeeze out of it)
• 3 16oz cans undrained blackeyed peas (not the kind already mixed with rice)
• 1 16oz can diced tomatoes
• 1 to 2 tsp Louisana pepper sauce (Tabasco or similar)
• 1/2 cup finely diced celery
• 2 tsp light soy sauce
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• salt to taste (1/2 to 1 tsp)

Cook sausage and drain.  Combine everything into large skillet and simmer uncovered for 15-20 minutes.  Stir thoroughly every few minutes with spatula.  Simmer until liquid cooks down some and celery is done.  Server over steamed jasmine rice.

It's good - I'll gar-on-tee!
