Instructions
- Rinse the black-eyed beans thoroughly and soak them overnight in water. Drain the water the next day.
- In a large pot, add the soaked beans and enough water to cover them. Cook over medium heat for about 40 minutes or until the beans are tender.
- In a separate pot, boil the corn until it's cooked. Drain and set aside.
- In another pan, heat the palm oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and minced garlic, and sauté until they become translucent.
- Add the diced bell peppers and tomatoes to the pan, and cook for a few minutes until they soften.
- Stir in the ground crayfish (if using), thyme, curry powder, salt, and pepper. Let the mixture cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Pour the cooked beans and corn into the pan with the sautéed vegetables. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 10 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
- Serve hot and enjoy.
