Description
A comforting and vibrant dish of vegan black-eyed peas, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 1 cup black-eyed peas (dried or canned; if dried, soak overnight)
- 1 onion (chopped)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 bell pepper (chopped)
- 2 cups vegetable broth or water
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 bay leaf
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prep the Black-Eyed Peas: If you’re using dried black-eyed peas, soak them in water overnight and then drain. For canned, simply rinse and drain them.
- Sauté the Vegetables: In the Instant Pot, heat a splash of oil, then sauté the chopped onion, minced garlic, and bell pepper until fragrant and softened.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the black-eyed peas, vegetable broth (or water), cumin, and bay leaf to the pot. Stir to combine.
- Cook: Seal the Instant Pot and set to cook on high pressure for 10-12 minutes. If cooking on the stovetop, bring to a simmer and cook on low for about 30-40 minutes, or until peas are tender.
- Season and Serve: Once cooked, season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove the bay leaf and top with fresh herbs before serving.
Notes
Serve over rice or quinoa, pair with cornbread, or add a dollop of vegan sour cream for a creamy contrast.
