Swahili Black-Eyed Peas in Coconut Milk image

Posted for ZWT. I haven't made it yet so the yield and time are a guesstimate. Soaking time on peas not included. Be sure to wear gloves when working with the hot pepper. Be careful changing the servings on this recipe, it might get confusing since I had to refer to specific amounts in the directions :)

Time 1h30m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb dried black-eyed peas or 1 lb pigeon peas
water, to cover peas
1/4 cup unsweetened coconut milk
1/2 cup water (or more)
oil, for saute (preferably coconut oil)
1 -2 onion, chopped
1 hot green chili pepper, seeded and chopped
1 teaspoon curry powder
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk
1/4 cup water
salt, to taste

Steps:

  • Wash, soak and rinse the peas per package instructions.
  • In a large pot, combine peas and just enough water to cover. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until the peas begin to become tender and most of the water is absorbed.
  • Stir in 1/4 c coconut milk and 1/2 c water. Continue to simmer over low heat, adding additional water as needed to prevent the peas from becoming dry.
  • Meanwhile, heat oil in separate skillet, add curry powder and stir for a minute. Fry the onion and chile pepper until tender.
  • Add the onion and chile mixture to the peas and continue to simmer until peas are tender enough to eat.
  • Add the remaining coconut milk and water, cover and turn to simmer. Cook 5-10 minutes longer, stirring occassionaly. Season to taste, serve with rice or Chapati (unleavened bread).
