Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 1/2 cups dried black-eyed peas -- picked over
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 whole dried hot red chili pepper
3 garlic cloves -- minced
2 bay leaves -- (to 3)
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon paprika
1 1/2 teaspoons salt

Wash and drain black-eyed peas. Soak peas overnight in water that covers by 5 inches. Drain peas and discard soaking liquid.

In a large pot, add the peas and 4 1/2 cups water; bring to a boil. Cover, turn the heat down to low, and simmer for 40 minutes or until the peas are tender; set aside without draining.

Add the oil to a large skillet and put over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add in the chile and stir once; it should darken and puff up immediately.
Quickly add in the garlic and stir once.

Add the black-eyed peas and all the cooking liquid, the bay leaves, oregano, thyme, paprika, and salt. Stir mixture and bring to a simmer. Simmer gently, uncovered, for 20 minutes.

Serve hot.
