This hearty home-style dish is made by simmering diced lamb with cooked black-eyed peas in a tomato paste sauce. It is a popular classic for lunch or dinner, often served with rice pilaf.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Brown the lamb

10 min

Heat the cooking oil in a pot and add the diced lamb. Cook over medium heat until the meat releases its juices and they evaporate.

2

Add the onion and tomato paste

8 min

Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for a few minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and red pepper flakes.

3

Simmer with water

22 min

Add the hot water, cover the pot, and simmer over low heat until the lamb is tender.

4

Add the black-eyed peas

5 min

Add the cooked black-eyed peas and salt to the pot. Simmer together until the sauce thickens.

Reminder

Boil and drain the black-eyed peas separately before adding them to the lamb. If raw peas are cooked with the lamb for a long time, they may still be tough inside. Contains no allergens.
