Fresh Cowpea Meal (In Pressure)

Is it the tiredness of the last days? We miss Akyaka again :) I miss waking up early to go shopping in the market, returning home to prepare dinner in the morning, so that they can travel comfortably all day!

My dear aunt has a practical recipe for times like this (when we want to travel a lot and do little work). As you know, I have never had a relationship with the pressure cooker, so I don't have many recipes using the pressure cooker. After this recipe, the ice between us seemed to thaw :) When I was cooking black-eyed peas at home, I would first fry the tomato and onion, then add the black-eyed peas and their water and cook them. Ok, I didn't add much because the vegetables left water anyway, but I would still wait for it to cook.

In this recipe, we put everything raw and do not add water. When it is cooked, it tastes so good and fresh that once looking at its bowl, it says that I have never eaten fresh black-eyed peas before.

I recommend you to try this classic recipe as well.

Love…
