Ingredients

extra virgin olive oil
500g black-eyed peas
1 onion
1 green bell pepper
1 red bell pepper
3 garlic cloves
1,5 cups diced tomatoes
1/2 fresh parsley
2 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp red hot chilli pepper
2 cups water

Directions

Soak black-eyed peas in cold water for at least 5-6 hours then rinse them well. This process will reduce your cooking time and make your black-eyed pea stew very tender.
Chop vegetables and sauté them in a decent amount of extra virgin olive oil on medium heat for a few minutes.
Add your diced tomatoes and sauté for a few more minutes.
Add black-eyed peas and stir until mixed.
Add water and spices.
Cover and cook on low heat for 45 minutes.
Stir half of the chopped parsley into the stew when finished, and use the rest to garnish.
