Black-eyed pea stew with noodles is made by simmering cooked peas with onion, tomato or tomato paste, then adding noodles near the end. If using dried peas, cook them until tender first; add enough water for the noodles to cook without making the stew watery.
The basic ingredients for black-eyed pea stew with noodles are black-eyed peas, noodles, onion, oil, water, and tomato or tomato paste. Garlic, herbs, or chili can be added for flavor, while homemade egg noodles make a richer version.
Soaking dried black-eyed peas is optional, but it can help them cook more evenly and quickly. Drain and rinse them before cooking, then wait until they are tender before adding noodles; canned peas need only draining and rinsing.
Add the noodles once the black-eyed peas are nearly tender and the stew has enough liquid for them to cook. They soften quickly, so adding them too early can make them mushy; stir occasionally and add hot water if the stew thickens too much.
Yes, canned black-eyed peas work well in black-eyed pea stew with noodles. Drain and rinse them, then add them after the onion-and-tomato base is cooked; simmer only long enough to heat the peas and cook the noodles.
Short, sturdy noodles work best in black-eyed pea stew with noodles because they are easy to eat with the peas and hold their shape in the broth. Homemade egg noodles are traditional in many versions, but small dried pasta can also be used.
Serve black-eyed pea stew with noodles with a green salad, plain yogurt, or crusty bread. The peas and noodles make it a filling one-pot meal, so a light side is usually enough rather than another starchy dish.
Black-eyed pea stew with noodles keeps in a covered container in the refrigerator for about 3–4 days. The noodles absorb broth as it sits, so loosen the stew with a little water when reheating and heat it until steaming throughout.
Yes, but the noodles may become soft after freezing and thawing. For the best texture, freeze the black-eyed pea stew before adding noodles, then cook fresh noodles in the thawed stew; otherwise, freeze leftovers in an airtight container.
Black-eyed pea stew with noodles thickens because the noodles absorb liquid as they cook and continue soaking it up after serving. Stir in hot water a little at a time to restore a looser consistency, especially when reheating leftovers.

Black-eyed pea stew with noodles is a Turkish home-style dish of tender black-eyed peas cooked with erişte, the dried noodles often made at home. Onion and tomato paste are common additions, and the noodles thicken the broth as they cook.
In Turkey, it is usually served warm as a simple lunch or dinner, often alongside salad or pickles. It brings plant protein and fibre from the peas, while the noodles make it a satisfying, carbohydrate-containing one-pot meal. For a lighter serving, use a modest amount of oil and add extra vegetables; fresh salad makes a good accompaniment.
