<RecipeText>Heat the oil in a large, heavy pot over medium heat.  Add the bacon and cook until lightly browned, about 4 minutes.  Pour off all but 2 tablespoons fat.  Add the onion, bell pepper, garlic, basil, thyme, salt and pepper and cook until the onion is golden brown, about 5 minutes.  Stir in the tomato paste and sugar and cook about 2 minutes more.

Add 5 ½ cups water and bring to a boil.  Stir in the rice and lime juice and return to a boil.  Reduce the heat to low and cover the pot tightly.  Cook until the rice is tender about 18 minutes, but check after 15 minutes:  if the rice is too wet, set the cover ajar to allow some of the liquid to evaporate; if too dry, add 2 to 3 tablespoons water.  Stir in the pigeon peas during the last 3 minutes of cooking.  Remove the pot from the heat and let stand for 5 minutes.  Just before serving, fluff the peas and rice with fork and correct the seasoning, adding more salt or black pepper as needed.
