Ingredients

1 cup Black-eyed peas

4 cups Water

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 medium Onion, chopped

3 cloves Garlic, minced

1 medium Carrot, diced

1 stalk Celery, diced

1 leaf Bay leaf

1 teaspoon Cumin

1 teaspoon Celtic sea salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Method

Directions

Soak the Black-eyed Peas

Rinse the black-eyed peas under cold water and soak them in a bowl with enough water to cover them for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Cook the Vegetables

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

Add the Peas and Liquid

Drain and rinse the soaked black-eyed peas, then add them to the pot along with 4 cups of water and 2 cups of vegetable broth. Stir in the bay leaf, cumin, salt, black pepper, thyme, and red pepper flakes.

Simmer

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

Finish and Serve

Remove the bay leaf and stir in the chopped fresh parsley. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. Serve warm.
