South-western black eyed peas

6 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 cup Dried black eyed peas
4 cups Water
¼ teaspoon Red chile flakes, crushed
½ teaspoon Cumin
2 tablespoons Olive oil
¾ cup Green onions, thinly sliced
2 eaches Celery ribs, thinly sliced
3 eaches Garlic cloves, minced
2 cups Mexican style stewed Tomatoe

Directions

Rinse beans, cover in water & bring to a boil. Cook for 3 minutes, remove from heat & let sit for 1 hour. Drain & rinse. Cover with fresh water, bring back to a boil & cook for 30 minutes. Drain & set side.

Saute chile flakes in oil for 1 minute. Add green onions, celery, garlic & beans. Cook over medium heat, stirring, for 5 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes. Reduce heat & simmer for 30 minutes. Serve hot.

MARK'S NOTE: I really do not think that black-eyed peas need this much cooking. When making this dish, I omit the soaking stage & just cook for 30 minutes & then let them finish cooking with the remaining ingredients.
