Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Peel and dice the butternut squash into 1-inch cubes. Remove the seeds from the red bell pepper and chop it into small pieces. Dice the yellow onion and mince the garlic cloves.

  2. 2

    Rinse the Black-eyed Peas

    If using dried black-eyed peas, soak them overnight and rinse before use. If using canned, simply rinse and drain them.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, cooking until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

  2. 4

    Add the Squash and Bell Pepper

    Stir in the butternut squash and red bell pepper. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften.

  3. 5

    Incorporate Spices

    Add the curry powder, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir to coat the vegetables with the spices.

  4. 6

    Add Broth and Black-eyed Peas

    Pour in the vegetable broth and add the rinsed black-eyed peas. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the squash is tender.

  5. 7

    Finish with Lime and Cilantro

    Once cooked, remove the pot from heat. Stir in the lime juice and chopped cilantro. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
