Rinse the black-eyed peas, boil them for 25 minutes until they remain firm, and keep them with their cooking water.
Saute the onion, garlic, and green peppers in olive oil for 6 minutes.
Add the rice and stir it for 3 minutes.
Add the black-eyed peas with their cooking water, then add the hot water, salt, and black pepper.
Cook the rice over low heat for 18-20 minutes.
Cut the halloumi cheese into cubes and fry it in a separate pan for 4 minutes.
Fold the Baiao de dois with the halloumi cheese and chopped cilantro, then serve hot.
💡 Tip: Use halloumi in place of queijo coalho in Turkey; the cheese browns without melting in the pan and balances the salty bites of the dish.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve Baiao de dois hot, with optional hot pepper pickles and lemony greens on the side.
