Preparation

    Soaking the Black Eyed Peas

    Rinse the black-eyed peas under cold water. Place them in a bowl, cover with water, and let them soak for at least 6 hours or overnight.

    Chopping Vegetables

    Finely chop the onion, garlic, carrot, and celery.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sautéing the Vegetables

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

  2. 4

    Adding Black Eyed Peas and Water

    Drain and rinse the soaked black-eyed peas, then add them to the pot. Pour in the 4 cups of water and stir well.

    Seasoning the Mixture

    Add salt, black pepper, thyme, bay leaf, and red pepper flakes to the pot. Stir to combine.

  4. 6

    Simmering

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