Black-eyed peas

I don't know if I posted this recipe or not, but it sure is great for all
those black-eyed pea lovers.
I took this to a vegetarian club meeting a few months ago and it won first
prize.

2 cans black eyed peas, drained

1 cup chopped celery
4-5 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 teaspoon pepper or to taste
2-3/4 cups uncooked long grain brown rice

In a large saucepan or Dutch oven combine peas, onion, celery, bay leaf,
