Ingredients

• 1 pound dried black-eyed peas
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 yellow onion, diced
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 green bell pepper, diced
• 2 celery stalks, diced
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
• 2 cups water
• 1 bay leaf
• 2 links cooked andouille sausage, sliced (optional for extra flavor)
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
• 4 cups cooked rice (to serve, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the dried black-eyed peas thoroughly under cold water and drain. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the diced onion, garlic, green bell pepper, and celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the smoked paprika, dried thyme, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and sea salt. Cook for 1-2 minutes to toast the spices.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and water, and add the bay leaf. Stir well to combine.

Step 6

Add the rinsed black-eyed peas and sliced andouille sausage (if using) to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 60-75 minutes, or until the black-eyed peas are tender. Stir occasionally and add more water if needed to keep the peas submerged.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Remove and discard the bay leaf before serving.

Step 9

To serve, ladle the black-eyed peas into bowls and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve with cooked rice on the side if desired.
