Where to find ingredients
Find black-eyed peas in the pulse/legume aisle or international section of any local supermarket. Fresh produce like coriander, peppers, tomatoes, and onions are readily available at local greengrocers or supermarkets. If you cannot find fresh coriander, flat-leaf parsley is a suitable substitute, though it changes the flavor profile slightly.
Preparation method
- Place the black-eyed peas in a pressure cooker.
- Add 4 cups of water.
- Cover the pot and place over high heat.

- Halve the tomatoes, discard the seeds, and dice into small cubes.
- Clean and finely chop the fresh coriander leaves.
- In a large bowl, combine the chopped onion, bell pepper, and tomato.
- Turn off the heat after the cooking time and wait for the pressure to release naturally before opening the pot.
- Drain the cooked beans in a colander.
- Rinse the beans under cold water to stop the cooking process and drain well.
- Add the cooked black-eyed peas to the bowl with the chopped vegetables.
- Season with the olive oil, white wine vinegar, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
