Black-eyed peas are a Southern good-luck tradition for the New Year. I grew up on this tradition and my mom never missed serving up black-eyed peas on New Year’s Day.<\/p>\n
This year we’re enjoying them in a stew. Inspired by the dish Red-Red from Ghana, this simple black-eyed peas and tomato stew is traditionally served with fried plantains. We like dishing it up with plantain chips or saut\u00e9ed bananas, which make a great stand in for plantains.<\/p>\n
Enjoy this healthy stew throughout the year!<\/p>\n

mise en place<\/p><\/div>\n
The Ingredients<\/strong><\/p>\nUsing canned black-eyed peas slashes time without sacrificing flavor.<\/p>\n
Thinly sliced onions are saut\u00e9ed until lightly caramelized. Minced garlic, curry powder, grated fresh ginger, and chili powder are added and cooked with the onions for one minute. Tomatoes and black-eyed peas are added and the stew simmers for 15 minutes.<\/p>\n
Saut\u00e9ed Bananas or Plantain Chips<\/strong><\/p>\nWhile the stew is simmering, cut 2 firm bananas in half lengthwise and then crosswise into 2 to 3-inch pieces. Saut\u00e9 the bananas in a little vegan butter for about 5 minutes, until browned on both sides. The combination of the stew and bananas is incredible!<\/p>\n
Or enjoy with plantain chips.<\/p>\n
