Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons cooking oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 celery rib, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups dried black-eyed peas, picked over and rinsed
5 cups water
15 ounces diced tomatoes
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
1/8 teaspoon cayenne (or more to taste)
1 tablespoon hot sauce (or to taste)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke flavoring

Steps:

  • Soak the peas overnight in cold water. Drain.
  • Heat the oil in a heavy pot. Add onion, pepper, and celery, sweat over low heat until softened.
  • Stir in garlic, continue stirring until garlic releases it's aroma.
  • Add all remaining ingredients except liquid smoke to the pot, along with enough additional water to cover the peas by one inch. Cook until peas are completely tender, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours, adding more water as necessary. When they're tender, add the Liquid Smoke, cook for 5 more minutes, and serve over rice.
