Soak the dried black-eyed peas overnight, then drain and rinse the next day.
For the base, saute the onion in olive oil for 5 minutes.
Add the tomato paste and stir for 2 minutes, until fragrant.
Add the black-eyed peas, hot water, salt, and cumin, then cover.
Cook over low heat for 43 minutes, without boiling hard so the skins do not split.
Rest for 10 minutes and serve warm or hot with olive oil.
💡 Tip: Soak the black-eyed peas overnight, so their skins stay intact and they cook faster.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve with lemon, pickles, and pilaf.
