Ingredients

Directions

  1. Rinse the dried black-eyed peas thoroughly and pick over them to remove any debris or stones.
  2. Place the peas in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Let them soak overnight (at least 8 hours).
  3. Drain and rinse the soaked peas.
  4. In a large pot, combine the drained peas, chopped onion, stewed tomatoes with their juices, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, molasses, and 2 cups of water.
  5. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.
  6. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer gently.
  7. Cook for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, stirring occasionally, until the peas are very tender and the sauce has thickened. Add more water during cooking if the mixture becomes too dry.
  8. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  9. Serve warm.
