This uniquely aesthetic legume is an ancient favorite in Middle Eastern and Indian cuisine. Black eye peas serve a multitude of purposes in the kitchen, is commonly incorporated into stews, braises, soups, salads, slow cooks, and dips! Black eye peas contain loads of Vitamins A and B, and they’re rich in dietary fiber, like most legumes. They’re also an excellent source of protein and potassium, and they contain just a hint more natural fats than other legumes, providing hardy flavor. Traditional Black Eyed Pea Stew is a modern favorite and requires simple preparation: Soak your peas overnight, grab olive oil, chopped onion, one leek, garlic cloves, cumin, and chili powder. Combine with strained tomatoes and basmati rice, and you’ll have a fantastic comfort food that’s perfect for dinner!
