Black-Eyed Peas West African Style

Ingredients
  • 16 oz. dried black-eyed peas
  • 8 cups water
  • 2 vegetable or chicken bouillon cubes
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 2 tbsp. vegetable oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 15 oz. canned diced tomatoes
  • 1 1/2 tsp. Garam Masala
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp honey
  • salt and pepper
Directions

Rinse black-eyed peas in a colander or strainer and pick through to find any small stones or debris. In a large stock pot, boil on high in the measured water for 15 minutes. Crumble bouillon cubes into peas and add salt.

Reduce heat and simmer for 60–70 minutes, stirring halfway through cooking.

In a heavy skillet, heat oil and sauté onion until translucent, add garlic and sauté for another minute, then add tomatoes and spices and cook gently for 10 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add this mixture to the peas and cook for an additional 10 minutes.

Serve over rice.
