Ingredients

Instructions

  • In a pot, add black-eyed peas and pour cold water on them. Wash the dried black-eyed peas twice. Drain the water each time. Soak the black-eyed peas for about 8 hours or overnight.
  • Once they are soaked long enough, drain the black-eyed peas and wash them again with water.
  • Place the black-eyed peas in a medium-sized pot, and pour enough water so that they are covered, and the water level is about 2 inches above the black-eyed peas.
  • Place the pot over medium heat and let the black-eyed peas cook for about 60 minutes, or until they are tender. Once done, set them aside.
  • In a large pot, heat two tablespoons of palm oil. Add chopped onion and cook for about 3 minutes until they are translucent.
  • Add grated ginger, minced garlic, bell pepper, and green onion. Sauté for a minute or two.
  • Next, add chopped tomatoes, tomato sauce, bouillon, cayenne pepper, curry powder, black-eyed peas, and black pepper.
  • Mix well, then let the mixture cook for about 10 minutes.
  • Using a potato masher, mash black-eyed peas slightly so that the stew gets creamy.
  • Add two tablespoons of palm oil, and season it with salt to taste. Serve this stew with either baked or fried plantains.
