Black Eyed Pea & Tomato Stew

The tomato base is rich and tangy, and it’s thick enough to eat as a full meal. I heated up a bowl for lunch and the black-eyed peas stayed nice and firm throughout. Perfect for a cold day when you want something filling without a lot of fuss.

The black-eyed peas hold their shape really well in this stew, which makes it feel more like a proper meal than a thin soup. The tomato base is rich without being too acidic, and it’s hearty enough to eat on its own for lunch. I’ve already added it to my regular rotation.

This was my lunch three days in a row and I’ve got zero regrets. The broth is rich and just thick enough to coat the peas, which are tender but never mushy, and the tomato tang really cuts through it all.
