Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups dried black-eyed peas
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 whole dried hot red chile
- 3 garlic cloves, peeled and finely chopped
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
Method
- Pick over the black-eyed peas, wash, and drain. In a large pot, bring the peas and 4 1/2 cups water to a boil. Cover, turn the heat to low, and simmer gently until the peas are tender. The time this takes can vary greatly, from 20 to 40 minutes or more, so start checking early.
- Put the oil in a large frying pan or deep saucepan and heat over a medium-high flame. When hot, add the chile and stir once; then add the garlic and stir once. Pour the black-eyed peas with all their cooking liquid into the pan of oil and add the bay leaves, oregano, thyme, paprika, and salt. Stir to mix and bring to a simmer. Simmer gently, uncovered, on low heat for 20 minutes. Serve hot.
