Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 2 medium carrots, sliced into rounds
• 2 medium celery stalks, chopped
• 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 small head cabbage, roughly chopped
• 2 cups black-eyed peas, canned (drained and rinsed)
• 6 cups vegetable broth
• 1 15-ounce can diced tomatoes, canned
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion, sliced carrots, and chopped celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the chopped cabbage to the pot and stir to combine. Let it cook for 3-5 minutes until it starts to wilt down slightly.

Step 5

Stir in the black-eyed peas, vegetable broth, diced tomatoes (with their juices), smoked paprika, dried thyme, cumin powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for 30 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Stir in the lemon juice just before serving to brighten the flavors.

Step 8

Ladle the stew into bowls, garnish with chopped fresh parsley, and serve warm.
