Southwestern 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 Celery ribs, thinly sliced
3 Garlic cloves, minced
2 cups Mexican style stewed Tomatos

Directions

Rinse beans, cover in water & bring to a boil. Cook for 3 mins, remove from heat & let sit for 60 mins. Drain & rinse. Cover with fresh water, bring back to a boil & cook for 30 mins. Drain & set side.

Saute chile flakes in oil for 1 min. Add green onions, celery, garlic & beans. Cook over medium heat, stirring, for 5 mins. Stir in tomatoes.

Reduce heat & simmer for 30 mins. 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.

KATIE'S NOTE: I read Mark's note, and I say you should do the rinse.

Rinsing this way reduced flatulance later. :) Source: "Vegetarian Gourmet" Spring, 1995 Posted to MM-Recipes Digest by momqat@... (Katie M Weber) on Apr 21, 1998
