Southern Black-Eyed Peas and Cauliflower image

This sweet and savory black-eyed pea dish, from vegan cookbook author Chloe Coscarelli, calls for canned beans so it comes together in about a half hour. Serve with Ms. Coscarelli's super-easy biscuits. Leftovers, if you have any, can be eaten in a bun, sloppy-Joe style.

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 green bell pepper, seeded and diced
2 cups cauliflower florets, roughly chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
2 (15-ounce) cans black-eyed peas, rinsed and drained
1 (14-ounce) can tomato sauce
1 cup water
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup packed brown sugar or maple syrup
2 tablespoons white or apple cider vinegar

Steps:

  • In a large pot, heat oil over medium-high heat and sauté onions and green peppers until soft. Add cauliflower and cook, stirring frequently, until it is lightly browned, about 5 to 8 minutes. Add garlic, cumin, chili powder, cinnamon, cayenne and salt, and cook a few more minutes.
  • Stir in black-eyed peas, tomato sauce, water, soy sauce, brown sugar and vinegar. Reduce heat to medium. Simmer, uncovered, for 10 to 15 minutes. Adjust seasoning to taste. Serve in soup bowls with biscuits and whipped maple "butter" on the side.

This recipe was a total disaster. The peas were hard and the cauliflower was undercooked. I would not recommend this recipe.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my dish turned out mushy. I think I overcooked the peas.

This recipe was a little too spicy for me. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper.

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out great! The only thing I would change is to add a little more salt.

This recipe was a little bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and it was much better.

I'm not a big fan of cauliflower, but I really enjoyed this recipe. The cauliflower was cooked perfectly and it didn't overpower the flavor of the black-eyed peas.
