Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 medium carrots, sliced into rounds
- 2 medium celery stalks, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 small head cabbage, roughly chopped
- 2 cups black-eyed peas, canned (drained and rinsed)
- 6 cups vegetable broth
- 1 15-ounce can diced tomatoes, canned
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the diced onion, sliced carrots, and chopped celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the chopped cabbage to the pot and stir to combine. Let it cook for 3-5 minutes until it starts to wilt down slightly.
Stir in the black-eyed peas, vegetable broth, diced tomatoes (with their juices), smoked paprika, dried thyme, cumin powder, salt, and black pepper.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for 30 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Stir in the lemon juice just before serving to brighten the flavors.
Ladle the stew into bowls, garnish with chopped fresh parsley, and serve warm.
