Black Eyed Pea Curry Recipes

Steps:

• In a large pot over medium-high heat, sauté the garlic, onion, and habanero with the olive oil and a pinch of salt for 5 to 7 minutes.
• Stir in the curry powder and cook until the onions are nicely coated, then add in the beans and water. Turn down the burner to medium-low, cover the pot, and cook for about 20 minutes.
• Stir in the coconut milk, turn down the burner to low, and simmer with the pot cover off for 30 minutes or until the beans are tender.
• Stir in the 1 tablespoon of salt and add the pepper, cilantro, and lime juice. Taste your beans! Add more salt if you like, keep simmering, tasting your beans until they are seasoned and cooked through to your liking.

Steps:

• Boil potato in medium pot of boiling salted water until tender, about 10 minutes; drain. Blend 1/2 cup black-eyed peas, 1/2 cup water, ginger and turmeric in processor until smooth.
• Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add curry powder and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add remaining 1 1/2 cups black-eyed peas, puree from processor, potato and tomato to skillet. Cook until mixture is thick and creamy, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Rewarm before continuing.)
• Transfer curry to large bowl. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve.
