Using herbs adds flavor without additives.

Blend the red pepper, carrots, bell pepper, onion, ginger, garlic, rosemary, and bay leaf to make a pepper mix and set aside.

Wash the black-eyed peas thoroughly to remove any particles.

Pour the washed black-eyed peas into a saucepan and add water.

Add onions to the beans to help them cook faster.

Cook the beans for at least 30 minutes until very soft, adding more water as needed.

Slice the ripe plantains and season with salt to marinate.

In a separate saucepan, heat a lot of palm oil and add a little onion for flavor.

Pour the blended pepper mix into the saucepan with palm oil and fry for 20-25 minutes until it reaches a dark color.

Season the sauce with edia spice and a Maggi seasoning cube, being careful not to overseason.

Check the beans to ensure they are well cooked and soft, then add salt to taste.

Fry the marinated plantains until golden brown, using either deep-frying or shallow-frying methods.

Serve the beans with the fried plantains, adding an egg and more of the dark sauce on top.
