- 750 ml Water
- 1 teaspoon (or to taste) Salt

Directions
Step 1
Rinse the black-eyed peas under cold water, then place them in a pot with enough water to cover them completely. Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes. Drain the black-eyed peas and set aside.

In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.

Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Step 4
Stir in the carrots and celery, cooking for 5 minutes to lightly sauté the vegetables.
Step 5
Add the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and bay leaf, stirring to combine. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the tomatoes start breaking down.
Step 6
Return the black-eyed peas to the pot, then pour in the water. Stir to combine and bring the stew to a boil.
Step 7
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the stew simmer gently for 40-45 minutes, or until the black-eyed peas are tender.
Step 8
Season the stew with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir in the minced parsley and remove from heat.
Step 9
