Main Ingredients

1 cup Black Eyed Peas

1 medium Onion

3 cloves Garlic

1 medium Bell Pepper

1 medium Carrot

1 stalk Celery

4 cups Vegetable broth

1 can (14.5 oz) Canned Tomatoes

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon Celtic sea salt

1 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon Cayenne pepper

1 teaspoon Thyme (dried)

1 leaf Bay Leaf

Method

Preparation

Soak the Black Eyed Peas

Rinse the black eyed peas under cold water. Soak them in a pot of water overnight or for at least 6 hours.

Chop the Vegetables

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

Cooking

Cook the Aromatics

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

Add Garlic

Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.

Combine Ingredients

Add the soaked black eyed peas, vegetable broth, canned tomatoes (with juice), salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, thyme, and bay leaf to the pot. Stir well to combine.

Simmer

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for 30-40 minutes, or until the black eyed peas are tender.

Adjust Seasoning

Taste the dish and adjust seasoning with more salt, black pepper, or cayenne pepper if desired.

Serve

Remove the bay leaf before serving. Serve hot, optionally garnished with fresh herbs.
