Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Soaking the Black-eyed Peas

    Rinse the black-eyed peas in cold water, discarding any debris. Soak them in enough water to cover by at least 2 inches for 6-8 hours or overnight.

  2. 2

    Chopping the Vegetables

    Dice the onion, bell pepper, celery, and carrot into small pieces. Mince the garlic cloves.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sautéing the Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, bell pepper, celery, carrot, and minced garlic. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

  2. 4

    Adding the Broth and Peas

    Drain and rinse the soaked black-eyed peas. Add them to the pot along with the vegetable broth. Stir well to combine.

  3. 5

    Seasoning the Mixture

    Add the salt, black pepper, cumin, thyme, bay leaves, and red pepper flakes. Stir to distribute the spices evenly.

  4. 6

    Cooking the Dish

    Bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for about 45-60 minutes, or until the peas are tender.

  5. 7

    Final Adjustments

    Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Remove the bay leaves before serving.
