Servings: 8 -10 servings

Ingredients

  • 3 carrots peeled and diced
  • 2 onions peeled and roughly chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cups black-eyed peas
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 tablespoon peppercorns
  • 3 cloves garlic sliced
  • salt to taste
  • 6 cups chicken stock

Instructions

  • Sweat the carrots and onions in the oil over medium-high heat until the onions are soft.
  • Add the beans and stir until the skins are opaque and “blanched.”
  • Add the bay leaves, garlic, peppercorns and salt and give it a stir.
