Ingredients

  • Half of a vibrant red bell pepper
  • A generous tablespoon of smooth olive oil
  • A finely chopped onion for depth of flavor
  • One tender celery stalk, diced
  • Two cloves of garlic, minced for aroma
  • A cup of pure water
  • An equal measure of flavorful vegetable broth
  • Three ripe plum tomatoes, roughly chopped
  • A can of black-eyed peas, drained and rinsed
  • Sweet potatoes from a can, cut into hearty chunks
  • A spoonful of rich brown sugar
  • A hint of fragrant cinnamon
  • A touch of spicy cayenne pepper
  • A sprinkle of fiery crushed red pepper flakes
  • A single aromatic bay leaf
  • Just a pinch each of dried thyme, basil, oregano, and rosemary
  • A dash of garlic and onion powder
  • A pinch of mustard powder for depth
  • A sprinkle of cumin and coriander for warmth
  • Season with salt and cracked black pepper to your liking
  • Lastly, two tablespoons of freshly chopped parsley

Step 1

Preheat the oven to broil. Gently coat a red bell pepper with a drizzle of olive oil and place it, cut-side down, on a baking sheet. Slide the sheet under the broiler and let the pepper char and blister to perfection. Once done, take it out, let it cool, then deftly peel off the skin before dicing the pepper into delectable morsels.

Step 2

In a spacious skillet, warm up some olive oil over a medium flame. Toss in the onion, celery, and garlic, sautéing until the onion turns soft and translucent.

Step 3

Next, introduce a medley of flavors to the skillet: water, vegetable broth, tomatoes, black-eyed peas, sweet potatoes, and the chopped bell pepper. Sprinkle in brown sugar, cinnamon, cayenne, and red pepper flakes for a hint of spice. The aromatic touch comes from adding a bay leaf, thyme, basil, oregano, and rosemary. Elevate the mix with garlic, onion, and mustard powders, and season with a dash of cumin and coriander.

Step 4

Let the mixture come to a lively boil, then lower the heat to a gentle simmer, covered, until the sweet potatoes start to break down, which should take around 20 minutes. Adjust the seasoning with salt and freshly cracked pepper. Finally, stir in some freshly chopped parsley before presenting this flavorful dish.
