Diaspora Chili-Spiced Black-Eyed Peas As Made By CC Pean Recipe by Tasty image

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.

Time 22m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon palm oil
½ medium white onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons ginger purée
2 roma tomatoes, seeded and chopped
½ cup frozen okra, pre-cooked, sliced
½ sweet plantain, cubed - yellow with brown spots
1 ½ cups black eyed pea, cooked and drained
1 tablespoon afcave diaspora chili blend
1 cup full-fat coconut milk
salt, to taste
rice, cooked
¼ cup fresh cilantro, for garnish

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!
