RACHEL'S VEGAN CILANTRO LIME BLACK-EYED PEAS

Rachel's Vegan Cilantro Lime Black-Eyed Peas image

Black-eyed peas are a veggie/bean I don't use too much in my cooking and I'd like to use them more. Most recipes I've seen using them call for baking or frying up with ham or pork. This is simple, vegan, and has lots of flavor. Make sure that you are using dry black-eyed peas-- not canned. Better yet, you don't have to pre-soak these like you normally have to with dried beans. Variation hint: if you don't care much for the cilantro lime part, just nix them, add 1 tsp lemon juice instead. I also think this recipe would do great in a slow cooker like a Crockpot.

Ingredients

2 cups black-eyed peas
4 cups vegetable stock (or broth)
1 medium onion, finely diced
1 teaspoon minced garlic (2 cloves)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons lime juice
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon brown sugar (or turbinado)

Steps:

In a small saucepan or frying pan, heat up the olive oil. Saute the onion and garlic until nice and brown.
Wash the black-eyed peas and remove any stones, dirt, etc. Put them into a Dutch oven (although being ghetto, I use my hand-me-down lobster pot and it works just fine. Any large pot will do.).
Add the browned onion, plus all the other ingredients listed. Mix well. Bring it to a boil.
Lower the temperature to medium/medium-high. Cover the Dutch Oven or pot and let it all simmer for about 70-90 minutes or until the peas are nice and tender.
Awesome side dish, or great when served over brown rice with some greens for a complete vegan meal!

I've never made black-eyed peas before, but this recipe was so easy to follow. The peas turned out perfectly and the cilantro-lime sauce was delicious.

I'm a big fan of black-eyed peas, and this recipe is one of my favorites. The cilantro-lime flavor is so refreshing and summery.

Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay. The black-eyed peas were a bit bland, and the cilantro-lime sauce didn't really do much for me.

These black-eyed peas are a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll try making them again with less chili powder.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my black-eyed peas turned out mushy. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

These black-eyed peas are a great way to add some plant-based protein to your diet. They're also really affordable and easy to make.

I've made this recipe a few times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The black-eyed peas are creamy and flavorful, and the cilantro-lime sauce is the perfect finishing touch.
