BLACK-EYED PEAS IN A SPICY GOAN CURRY

Steps:

• If using dried black-eyed peas, rinse and soak them in enough water to cover for 6 to 8 hours. Drain. In a large saucepan, heat the oil over medium-low heat and saute the onion until it turns dark brown, about 8 minutes. Add the coriander, garlic, ginger, turmeric, cayenne and cumin, and stir for 2 minutes. Add the tomato and stir over low heat until it disintegrates. Add the peas and mix well. Pour in the hot water, if using, add the salt and sugar, and bring to a boil. Turn the heat down to low, cover, and simmer until the peas are cooked through, about 20 minutes. If using canned peas, simmer for only 10 minutes (it is essential to simmer the canned peas, too, so that all the flavors blend better). Stir in the coconut milk and simmer uncovered for another 8 to 10 minutes, again allowing the flavors to come together. Add the cilantro and lemon juice, simmer for 1 minute more, and remove from heat. Serve hot.

GOAN BLACK-EYED PEAS (SLOW COOKER)

Steps:

• Put the black-eyed peas in the slow cooker - no need to presoak.
• Peel and chop the tomatoes (or do what I did - use canned).
• Grind together the tomatoes, onion, ginger, garlic and chiles in a food processor (I used my stick blender and a deep-ish bowl). Add to slow cooker.
• Add the coriander, salt, turmeric, cumin and sugar to the slow cooker.
• Add the water and give it a stir. Cook on High for 7 hours. (Mine were done in about 5 hours). (See note about water. One reviewer reports using 6 cups and that that was enough.).
• Just before it's done, stir in the coconut milk and let it heat through, about 10 minutes.
• Garnish with cilantro. Serve with bread,naan, or rice, or on its own as a soup. (I strained off some of the liquid and served over rice).
• NOTE - I thought this was too much water. My peas cooked much more quickly than indicated, perhaps they were very fresh and just did not absorb as much water. When making again, I will reduce water and report back.
