Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups Black-eyed peas, cooked or canned (rinsed and drained if canned)
- 1.5 cups Sweet corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, diced
- 0.5 cup Vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until it becomes translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the diced red bell pepper and cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally until it softens slightly.
Mix in the black-eyed peas, sweet corn kernels, and vegetable broth. Stir to combine.
Sprinkle the paprika, ground cumin, cayenne pepper (if using), sea salt, and black pepper over the mixture. Stir well to evenly coat the ingredients with the spices.
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 8-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the liquid to reduce slightly.
Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the fresh lemon juice for a bright, tangy finish.
Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm as a standalone dish or as a side to your favorite protein.
