This dish is my love letter to Africa. The combination of black-eyed peas (commonly known as congo peas on the continent), sweet plantain, okra, coconut milk, palm oil, and peppery spices create a soul-satisfying link to the motherland.

Steps:
- In a large pan, warm the palm oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic, and ginger and sauté, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent and the garlic and ginger are fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook for 3-5 minutes, until they begin to soften and release their juices.
- Add the okra, plantain, and black-eyed peas. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until warmed through and the okra is bright green. Add the Afcave Diaspora Chili Blend and stir to coat the vegetables.
- Add the coconut milk and bring to a simmer, about 5 minutes. Cover and simmer for 8-10 minutes until everything is warmed through and the flavors meld. Season salt to taste.
- Serve the black-eyed peas hot over rice and garnish with cilantro.
- Enjoy!
