Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients

  1. 1 pound dry black-eyed peas
  2. 4 tablespoons olive oil
  3. 1 medium onion, chopped
  4. 2 cloves garlic, minced
  5. 1 quart water, or more as needed
  6. ½ cup chopped green onion tops
  7. ½ cup dried parsley flakes
  8. 3 bay leaves
  9. 1 ½ tablespoons salt, or more to taste
  10. ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Place peas into a large container and cover with several inches of cool water; let soak, 8 hours to overnight. Drain.
  2. Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Saute onion and garlic in the hot oil until tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Add black-eyed peas, 1 quart water, green onions, parsley, bay leaves, 1 1/2 tablespoons salt, and pepper; bring to a boil.
  3. Reduce heat and simmer until peas are tender and most, if not all, water is absorbed, 1 to 2 hours. Add more water if more cooking is needed. Taste and adjust salt and pepper if needed before serving.
  4. You can season with cayenne pepper instead of black pepper if preferred.

These were quite good. I added a couple of potatoes and some hot peppers. I will definitely make this recipe again, but will reduce the salt considerably. In the end I added some yeast extract and miso to add an umami kick.
