Directions
Goan Black-Eyed Peas (Slow Cooker),From “The Indian Slow Cooker” by Anupy Singla. Goa was originally colonized by the Portuguese. Coconut milk is used frequently in Goan cuisine. This was a really delicious meal, although I am not sure about the quantity of water, see Note. Use a 5 qt slow cooker for full amount, a 3 1/2 qt cooker if you halve the recipe.,We ate this tonight. used 6 cups of water and one 15 ounce can of fire roasted tomatoes in place of the whole tomatoes. It was perfect. used a 4 quart crock pot. I aimed for 5 hours, but made cornbread at the end; so it was more like 5 1/2 hours. It smelled like it was gonna be really spicy when it was cooking, and I was a little worried. It was fine, however.,We love black-eyed peas here in the South and we thoroughly enjoyed a different take on this dish. I was a little concerned that the amount of seasoning might overpower the dish, but it doesn’t — the spices are flavorful, but subtle. The addition of the coconut milk and cilantro was a great addition.

Note - I Thought This Was Too Much Water. My Peas Cooked Much More Quickly Than Indicated, Perhaps They Were Very Fresh and Just Did not Absorb as Much Water. When Making Again, I Will Reduce Water and Report Back. |
