BLACK-EYED PEAS IN A SPICY GOAN CURRY
Steps:
- If using dried black-eyed peas, rinse and soak them in enough water to cover for 6 to 8 hours. Drain. In a large saucepan, heat the oil over medium-low heat and saute the onion until it turns dark brown, about 8 minutes. Add the coriander, garlic, ginger, turmeric, cayenne and cumin, and stir for 2 minutes. Add the tomato and stir over low heat until it disintegrates. Add the peas and mix well. Pour in the hot water, if using, add the salt and sugar, and bring to a boil. Turn the heat down to low, cover, and simmer until the peas are cooked through, about 20 minutes. If using canned peas, simmer for only 10 minutes (it is essential to simmer the canned peas, too, so that all the flavors blend better).

Add the cilantro and lemon juice, simmer for 1 minute more, and remove from heat. Serve hot.

Steps:
- Place either fresh or dried black-eyed peas in a colander, and rinse them under cool running water. Transfer to a medium stockpot. Cover with about 2 inches of water. Add the peppercorns, bay leaf, onion, jalapeno pepper, ham hock, parsley (including stems), and garlic. Cover, and bring just below the boiling point over medium-high heat. Uncover, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook just until the peas are tender when bitten, about 45 minutes for dried peas (though cooking time will vary with the age of dried peas). Do not stir the peas while they are cooking because they can break down too much. Add salt and pepper to taste during the last 1o minutes of cooking.
- The peas will keep in their cooking liquid for about 3 hours at room temperature. Then they may be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 days. Serve black-eyed peas hot, along with their cooking liquid, in individual bowls. If desired, the meat from the ham hock may be shredded and served with the peas, along with the garlic and jalapeno peppers from the pot.
Tips:
- Choose the right black-eyed peas: Dried black-eyed peas are the best choice for this recipe as they have a longer shelf life and a nuttier flavor. If using canned black-eyed peas, rinse and drain them before using.
- Soak the black-eyed peas: Soaking the black-eyed peas overnight or for at least 8 hours helps to reduce their cooking time and makes them more digestible.
- Use a variety of spices: The spices used in this recipe add a lot of flavor. Experiment with different combinations of spices to find your favorite.
- Don't overcook the black-eyed peas: Black-eyed peas are done cooking when they are tender but still have a slight bite to them. Overcooked black-eyed peas are mushy and bland.
- Serve with your favorite sides: Spicy black-eyed peas can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, cornbread, or collard greens.
Conclusion:
Spicy black-eyed peas are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. They are also a good source of protein and fiber. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect pot of spicy black-eyed peas. So next time you're looking for a flavorful and satisfying meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
