Southern Style Vegan Black Eyed Peas Recipe
Description
Southern Style Vegan Black Eyed Peas cook dried beans slowly in a Dutch oven with a variety of dried herbs including parsley, thyme, oregano, and paprika. Vegan broth powder adds depth along with salt and a splash of Tabasco for mild heat. Liquid smoke introduces a subtle smoky flavor that evokes traditional seasoning without meat. After baking covered in the oven until the peas become tender, the pot is moved to the stovetop to reduce excess liquid, creating a thicker, saucier consistency.
The final dish has a soft yet saucy texture enhanced by the earthy and smoky seasoning. It pairs well as a side or vegan main accompanied by grains or cornbread. Garnishing with fresh chives adds a fresh, mild oniony contrast at serving.
These black-eyed peas keep well when refrigerated for up to five days and can be frozen in airtight containers for about three months. When reheating, gentle warming on the stove or microwave with a little broth or water helps restore moisture.
Ingredients
- 1 pound black-eyed peas dry
- 1 tablespoon vegan broth powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
- 1 teaspoon parsley dried
- 3/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon thyme dried
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano dried
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon liquid smoke
- chives for optional garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Place all of the ingredients in a 3-quart Dutch oven. Cover by two inches of water. Bake, covered, in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until tender.
- Carefully transfer the hot Dutch oven to a stove-top burner set over medium heat. Cook uncovered, stirring frequently, until the remaining liquid is thick and saucy, about five minutes.
- Serve hot and if desired, garnish with chives.
Notes
- Store cooked black-eyed peas in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.
- Freeze portions in freezer-safe containers allowing room for expansion; keep frozen up to 3 months.
- Reheat thawed peas on the stove over medium heat, adding water or broth if needed to prevent dryness.
- Microwave reheating is possible at 50% power for 2-3 minutes with a mid-way stir to evenly warm.
