Instructions
1

Soak the black-eyed peas overnight or quick soak them if needed. Drain and rinse.
2
|
In a large Dutch oven, heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the cinnamon sticks, garlic, allspice, and cumin. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
3
|
Add 5 cups of water, black-eyed peas, bay leaves, and dried chilies. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 60 to 90 minutes, until the peas are tender.

While the peas cook, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a frying pan. Cook the onions until softened and slightly charred, about 5 minutes. Remove the onions and blister the cherry tomatoes in the same pan. Toss the onions back into the pan and drizzle with lemon juice. Garnish with chopped cilantro.

Once the black-eyed peas are cooked, season with 1 teaspoon of salt. Serve hot, topped with the tomato-onion mixture.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Spice Bloom Technique 🌶️Toast whole spices like cumin and allspice in olive oil for 30-45 seconds before adding other ingredients to unlock their deep, complex flavors and aromatics.
- Soak & Rinse Strategy 💧Soak dried black-eyed peas overnight and rinse thoroughly to reduce cooking time and eliminate any potential digestive discomfort from raw legumes.
- Charring Tomato Pro Tip 🔥Use a cast-iron skillet or grill pan to achieve a perfect char on cherry tomatoes, which concentrates their sweetness and adds smoky depth to the dish.
- Liquid Gold Layering 🫒Drizzle high-quality extra virgin olive oil as a finishing touch just before serving to add a luxurious richness and bright, fruity notes to the brothy peas.
- Chile Heat Control 🌶Remove the seeds from Thai chiles to moderate the heat level, allowing you to control the dish's spiciness without sacrificing the characteristic pepper flavor.
