WILD RICE BEANS VEGGIE SAUSAGE

Made with wild rice, black eye peas, edamame, fried mushrooms and veggie sausage. Add some smoked paprika, turmeric, allspice, and maple syrup for sweet, some salt and freshly ground black pepper, and the dog eats like the human. And so it should be!

Makes 12 cups

1 c. dried wild rice

1 c. dried black eye peas

Combine rice and peas in colander and rinse well and drain. Place both in large saucepan with 5 cups water (no salt).

Bring to boil, reduce heat to low, cover tightly, cook 50 minutes or till tender soft.

Drain in colander and set aside.

1/2 t. ground allspice
