  • 1.5 tbsp coconut oil
  • 100 grams (3.5 oz) onions, chopped
  • 100 grams (3.5 oz) potato, chopped
  • 100 grams (3.5 oz) white mushrooms, diced
  • 100 grams (3.5 oz) carrots, diced
  • 100 grams (3.5 oz) green beans, diced
  • 15 grams (1/2 oz) garlic, minced
  • 3 -4 green chili (can increase or decrease as to your spice level)
  • 2 tsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp chili garlic paste, or sriracha
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp ginger powder
  • 1/2 tsp chili flakes, optional
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 500 ml water to boil the beans
  • 2 tbsp Chopped Cilantro
  • 2 tbsp sliced almonds
Instructions
  1. If using raw black eyed peas, then wash them under cold running water. Put them in pressure cooker with 500 ml water and little salt. Cook on high until one whistle, then lower the heat for 3-4 minutes. Turn off the heat and let the steam/pressure release on its own. If using canned black eyed peas, then skip this step.

  2. Meanwhile prep all your vegetables.

  3. In a heavy bottom pan, heat coconut oil. Add green chilies, and garlic and sauté on medium heat for 1 minute, until garlic starts to become slightly brown and releases its aroma.

  4. Add chopped onions. Sauté for 1-2 minutes, then add the potatoes. Sauté it on medium heat for another 2-3 minutes until potatoes starts to get slightly tender but not fully cooked.

  5. Then add the mushrooms and cook till all its water is released and evaporated, and potatoes are cooked through.

  6. Once potatoes and mushrooms are cooked, add carrots and beans together. Sauté for 2-3 minutes. You don't want to cook for too long as you just want them to be slightly tender but also retain their crunch.

  7. Then add the chili flakes, salt, ginger powder, soy sauce, and sriracha. Mix it well. Turn off the heat, and drizzle the sesame oil and lemon juice. Give it a quick mix. Sprinkle chopped cilantro and sliced almonds. Serve it warm with toasted bread, or as a side with your meal.

Recipe Notes

Instead of raw beans, you could totally use the canned ones. Just rinse off the beans nicely before using. 

Incase there is any liquid left in the pressure cooker after cooking the beans, then that liquid can be used in your soups, or it can be used to cook your rice or quinoa.
