Time 9h25m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound dry black-eyed peas
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 quart water, or more as needed
½ cup chopped green onion tops
½ cup dried parsley flakes
3 leaf (blank)s bay leaves
1 ½ tablespoons salt, or more to taste
ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Place peas into a large container and cover with several inches of cool water; let soak, 8 hours to overnight. Drain.
  • 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.
  • 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.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I added some chopped carrots and celery to the pot and it turned out great.
