For a richer flavor, consider using coconut oil instead of vegetable oil. Adjust the amount of sugar to your personal preference. If the porridge becomes too thick, add a little more water to reach your desired consistency. Try adding a pinch of cinnamon or a dash of vanilla extract for an extra layer of flavor. This porridge is best served warm.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
8 hrs
Soak the black-eyed peas: Place the black-eyed peas in a large bowl and cover them generously with water. Let them soak overnight, or for at least 8 hours. (8+ hours)
02
Step
4 mins
Sauté aromatics: Heat the vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and finely chopped onion. Sauté until the onion is softened and translucent, about 4 minutes. (4 minutes)
03
Step
2 mins
Create a roux: Stir in the all-purpose flour into the sautéed garlic and onion. Ensure the flour is evenly combined, creating a smooth roux. This will help thicken the porridge. (2 minutes)
04
Step
3 mins
Add liquids and spices: Gradually pour in the water, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Add the ground nutmeg and white sugar. Stir until the sugar is dissolved. (3 minutes)
05
Step
30 mins
Combine and simmer: Drain the soaked black-eyed peas and add them to the saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then immediately reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer gently, uncovered, until the black-eyed peas are tender and the porridge has thickened to your desired consistency, about 30 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. (30 minutes)
