Moroccan Black-Eyed Peas (Cowpeas)
  • 1 1/2 cups dried black-eyed peas (cowpeas)
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons sweet paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 3 1/2 cups water, or more if needed


  1. Place black-eyed peas into a large container and cover with several inches of cool water; let stand for 8 hours to overnight. Drain and rinse peas.
  2. Combine peas, onion, tomato sauce, olive oil, cilantro, garlic, salt, cumin, paprika, ginger, and cayenne pepper in a stockpot; pour 3 1/2 cups water over pea mixture.
