01
Cook the bacon in a heavy pot over medium heat until it renders its fat and begins to brown. Add the onion and cook until soft, then stir in the garlic for a few seconds.
02
Add the pigeon peas, white rice, bay leaf, dried thyme, water, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook gently until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
03
Let the pot stand off the heat for a few minutes, remove the bay leaf, then fluff the rice before serving.
