Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Soak the Black-eyed Peas

    In a large bowl, cover the black-eyed peas with water. Let them soak for at least 6 hours or overnight. Drain and rinse before cooking.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Sauté Vegetables

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

  2. 3

    Add Spices

    Stir in the salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, thyme, and bay leaf. Mix well and cook for another minute to release the flavors.

  3. 4

    Combine Peas and Broth

    Add the soaked black-eyed peas and vegetable broth to the pot. Stir to combine, then bring to a boil.

  4. 5

    Simmer

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 30-35 minutes or until the peas are tender.

  5. 6

    Final Adjustments

    Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Remove the bay leaf before serving.
