Black Eyed Peas & Rice. Old Years/New Years Eve, West African Tradition

Eating black eyed peas for Old Years/New Years Eve that has its roots in West African spiritual practices. This is a tradition has been handed down through generations that is still practiced today. This black eyed peas and rice recipe is a great vegan dish to prepare for Old Years. You can throw in your leftover hambone in this dish to add more flavor. Or you can make a turkey bone broth with your leftover turkey carcass from Christmas to take this to the next level.

Badawi. I have already down loaded and shared the book. Zina must be very proud. This black eyed peas and rice looks and i know tastes fantastic. Doing this for Friday. Did not know about the oil

[@eatahfood]

Thank you for sharing! I really appreciate it. Yes mummy was pleased 😀. Hope you enjoy, all the best!

[@AnovaLisaDragonfly]

Beautiful looking BEP and rice! I cook a lot and try new recipes often, but I’m always hesitant to cook with coconut milk/cream because I’m not sure if I’ll like it. So now I have a little dilemma: Do your recipe as is because I’m pretty sure it’ll be delish🙂, or use vegetable stock instead as I normally do.🤔

[@eatahfood]

The coconut milk adds such a richness to it. You should definitely try it

[@AnovaLisaDragonfly]

@@eatahfood - Thanks. I will try it with the coconut milk first. :-)

[@tabithaelliott6855]

That looks amazing

[@hopestewart3772]

Looks like I'll be getting a recipe book for sure

[@shellyshelly6255]

In Guyana. Ohh yea it's black eye peas cook-up with plenty meat. Old year's night is a must that a pot of cook up rice is cooked, so that at midnight food is in found the pot, it the belief that once food is in your pot the next year you will always have food. This is our tradition.

[@aqjdm8770]

Mi pa will appreciate this

[@eatahfood]

Thank you Indra! You can check out the link in the video description. It's actually on the website

[@MzBatyah]

Mmhhmm! This dish looks good, eh!! Question, can I replace the coconut milk with broth? I don't have ruku, but I have annatto seed paste. Could that work? Or can I simply leave it out? Thanks!

[@eatahfood]

Thank you. Yes to both! You can certainly swap out the coconut milk for broth and annatto paste or even sazon seasoning will work just as well as the roucou!

[@MzBatyah]

@@eatahfood Thank you!! 😊

[@gisellesalazar8400]

Delish😋

[@WillowTrainer]

What is the red sauce you used? I've never heard of it?

[@eatahfood]

Roucou or annatto extract.

[@user-pl1hz7xf2r]

You're black eye peas and rice looks delicious but I'm having trouble finding roucou in the UK

[@eatahfood]

You should be able to get Annatto which is Roucou in powdered form

I like that wooden spoon. Where can I get it

Thanks, it was a gift from Kenya

Keep reaching for the stars. mhmm

[@mrs.laborde6604]

What is ruko not sure if I spell it right first time hearing it. I want to try that recipe. Can anyone help please.

[@eatahfood]

Hi, roucou is annatto extract. You can find out more about it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gXSWnohvq9Wnm5o

[@Brown6031]

What is rucu? Is it puried tomato?

[@joannematthew835]

Looks good ..but I didn't see any pumpkin or green seasoning😊

[@maryalexander3156]

I cook that meal last night with chicken

[@HeavenestStCyr]

What is Roku? do you buy or make it?

[@eatahfood]

Roucou is a liquid made from annatto extract. You can buy it in select markets or make it yourself if you have access to the achiote fruit

[@tashez]

I have a decision to make yes... BEP and rice or (as I was planning) BEP in a bean salad... 🤔

[@eatahfood]

Hard choice there. The salad sounds like a vibe!

[@nicolettescott2857]

What kind of rice did you use?

[@eatahfood]

Long grain parboiled rice

[@erickacarter4530]

First of all I’m not African I’m American and Black eye peas aren’t African. Soul food isn’t African they come from Aborigine/Indian American heritage. There were NEVER any African American traditions and food because they don’t exist.

[@eatahfood]

Black eyed peas are native to West Africa.

[@faithfullypenny]

You're not African so how would you know? You're absolutely correct about soul food, that's western and not African. Black eye beans however are worldwide. Imagine claiming something that grows organically all over the world. You know what doesn't exist? The term African American.
