red red

4 medium whole (2-3/5" dia) Red Ripe Tomatoes
1 large Onions, raw
1 clove Garlic
20 tsp Carotino oil (red palm and canola) (by SHIRHPP)
1 tsp Ginger, ground
2.25 cup black eye pea (by RUSSLEE)

Wash and soak beans in cold water for 1 hour. Then, in a large pot and using 2 litres of water, boil your beans. The pot should be partially closed. After ± 5 minutes, reduce the heat and simmer the beans for ± 1,5 hours, or until they are soft (mushy even). If more water is needed during the boil, add only boiling water to it. When the beans have cooked, drain them in a colander and set aside.

In another pot, heat the oil and add the onions, garlic, chillies and ginger. After ± 3 minutes, stir in the mashed tomatoes and add your salt and pepper and/or seasoning cube. Add water and cook for ± 10 minutes before stirring in the beans. Cook, stirring intermittently for 15 more minutes. Now they are ready for serving.
