Trim the cowpeas and cut them in half, then chop the tomatoes and onion.
Soften the onion in olive oil for 3 minutes.
Add the tomatoes and cook for 3 minutes more.
Add the cowpeas and hot water to the pot and close the lid.
Cook the stew over low heat for 25 minutes, until the cowpeas soften.
Adjust the salt and rest for 8 minutes so the sauce settles.
💡 Tip: After removing the strings from the cowpeas, do not cut them too small; their texture stays better.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve the stew hot with rice pilaf on the side.
