Looking for a flavorful, hearty dish to kick off the new year or add to your weeknight rotation? This Black-Eyed Peas Recipe is bursting with rich, warm spices and topped with a delicious charred tomato-onion mix.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Step 1
Soak the black-eyed peas overnight or quick soak them if needed. Drain and rinse.
- Step 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.
- Step 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.
- Step 4
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.
- Step 5
Once the black-eyed peas are cooked, season with 1 teaspoon of salt. Serve hot, topped with the tomato-onion mixture.
