How to Cook Sierra Leonean Black Eyed Beans with Oil

Soak black eyed peas in water overnight.

Drain and rinse the soaked black eyed peas.

Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Sauté chopped onion until fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

Add pounded pepper and tomato paste, cooking until softened, about 5 minutes.

Add the black eyed peas and enough water to cover them by about an inch.

Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover.

Simmer for about 45 minutes, or until peas are tender.

Add cooked beef, fish, and crab, stirring to combine.

Season with Maggie Cube to taste.

Continue to cook for another 10-15 minutes until everything is heated through.

Remove from heat before serving.
