Ingredients:

450g black-eyed peas
1 tsp salt
1 hot chilli, pounded to a paste in a mortar

Method:

Soak the dried black-eyed peas in a large bowl of water over night. The following day use your hands to rub together the black-eyed peas (this will loosen the skins which will float to the top of the bowl). Skim off and discard the skins then drain the peas.

Transfer the peas to a pan then cover with plenty of water and boil for about 60 minutes, or until almost tender. Drain then just cover with water and add the salt and chilli. Bring to a boil and continue boiling until tender (about 20 minutes). Turn into a bowl and serve with greens and a starchy base (pap, cassava, yam, fufu etc).
