Here it is: Wild John, another variation on Hoppin’ John! And just in time for Mardi Gras when, let it be admitted, thing can get pretty wild.
1 1/2 cups dried black-eye peas; soaked, drained, and frozen
1 cup raw Lundberg Wild Blend, prepared with water only
1 cup chopped celery
14.5 oz can diced tomatoes, well drained

1/4 cup plain low-fat yogurt
1 cup chopped red onion
1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
1 bay leaf
2 tsp dry chimichurri spice blend

Cook the black eye peas with the bay leaf and celery, until peas are firm-tender. Remove bay leaf and drain. Mix in the cheese and let it melt.
Add the yogurt; salt; pepper; and chimichurri. Stir well.
Stir in the tomatoes; then the chopped onion and bell pepper. Then stir in the cooked rice.
