• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 cups Black-eyed peas, cooked or canned (rinsed and drained if canned)
• 1.5 cups Sweet corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
• 1 medium Red bell pepper, diced
• 0.5 cup Vegetable broth
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
• 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat.

Step 5

Mix in the black-eyed peas, sweet corn kernels, and vegetable broth. Stir to combine.

Step 6

Sprinkle the paprika, ground cumin, cayenne pepper (if using), sea salt, and black pepper over the mixture. Stir well to evenly coat the ingredients with the spices.
