Black-eyed peas

Also called: Digir indho-madow (Soomaali) · Haricots à œil noir (Français) · لوبيا بعين سوداء (العربية)

Good to know

Dried black-eyed peas should be smooth, whole and evenly cream-coloured with a clear black eye, not wrinkled or dusty. They need no long soak and cook in under an hour; very old beans stay hard, so buy from a busy shop.
