Mom's Black-Eyed Peas
Share recipe
Description
This is a family variation of a Lebanese green bean and meat stew. I grew up eating this every New Year's, and it is the only way my family will eat their peas! I try to include 1 bag of frozen field peas with snaps in my recipe.
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter
- 2 onions, sliced into thin slivers
- 3 pounds cubed beef stew meat
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cloves garlic, sliced, or to taste
- 3 (16 ounce) packages frozen black-eyed peas
Directions
- 1. Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium-low heat; cook and stir the onions in the melted butter until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the beef and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the meat is tender and the juices have cooked away, about 30 minutes.
- 2. Stir in the garlic and peas; pour in enough water to cover. Bring the mixture to a boil, cover, and simmer over low heat until the peas change color and are tender and hot, and almost all of the liquid has been absorbed, about 1 hour.
