Preparation of Ingredients

  1. 1

    Soak the Black-eyed Peas

    Rinse the black-eyed peas under cold water. Place them in a bowl and cover with water. Let them soak for at least 4 hours or overnight if possible. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Chop Vegetables

    Finely chop the onion, bell pepper, carrot, and celery. Mince the garlic cloves and set all the chopped vegetables aside.

Cooking the Dish

  1. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

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

  2. 4

    Add Garlic and Spices

    Add the minced garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, black pepper, and bay leaf to the pot. Stir well and cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 5

    Add Black-eyed Peas and Broth

    Stir in the soaked black-eyed peas and pour in the vegetable broth or water. Bring the mixture to a boil.

  4. 6

    Simmer the Dish

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 30-40 minutes, or until the peas are tender. Stir occasionally and add more broth or water if necessary.

  5. 7

    Final Seasoning

    Taste the dish and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Remove the bay leaf before serving.
