👨‍🍳 作り方

1. 1

   Rinse the soaked pigeon peas thoroughly.

   💡 プロのコツ: Ensure all soaking water is discarded.
2. 2

   In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the salted pork or smoked turkey and brown slightly.

3. 3

   Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, thyme sprigs, chopped scallions, and bell pepper to the pot. Sauté until the onion is softened and fragrant.

4. 4

   Stir in the chopped tomato and cook for another 2-3 minutes until it begins to break down.

5. 5

   Add the drained pigeon peas and the 6 cups of water to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer.

   💡 プロのコツ: Ensure the meat is submerged in the liquid.
6. 6

   Simmer for at least 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the peas are tender and the stew has thickened. Stir occasionally and add more water if it becomes too dry.

   💡 プロのコツ: The stew should have a thick, gravy-like consistency.
7. 7

   Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove thyme sprigs before serving.

   💡 プロのコツ: Be mindful of salt, as the salted pork will add its own salinity.
