Ingredients

dried black-eyed peas
olive oil
onion
garlic
paprika
cumin
salt and pepper

Instructions

If using dried peas, soak them in water overnight. Drain and rinse the soaked peas before cooking.
In a large pot or skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onions become translucent and fragrant.
Stir in the paprika, cumin, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook for another minute, allowing the spices to toast and release their flavors.
If using canned black-eyed peas, add them directly to the pot with the onion and spice mixture. Stir well to coat the peas with the spices and cook for about 10-15 minutes over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally.
If using soaked dried black-eyed peas, add them to the pot along with the vegetable or chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for approximately 30-35 minutes or until the peas are tender. Add more liquid if necessary during cooking.
Taste the black-eyed peas and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Once cooked, serve the seasoned black-eyed peas as a flavorful side dish or incorporate them into recipes as desired.
