It is a Turkish-style dish of dried black-eyed peas cooked with olive oil, usually with onion and tomato or tomato paste. It is often served after cooling, as a side dish or part of a meze spread.
Cook the dried peas until beginning to soften, then drain them. Soften onion in olive oil, add tomato or tomato paste, and stir in the peas with water; simmer gently until tender and let the stew rest before serving.
No, soaking is not essential, but it can help the dried peas cook more evenly and in less time. Sort and rinse them first; if you soak them, discard the soaking water and cook them in fresh water.
It can be served warm or cold, but it is commonly served cooled as a Turkish olive-oil dish. Letting it rest after cooking gives the peas time to take on the flavor of the onion, tomato, and oil.
Serve it with rice, bulgur, or bread, alongside a crisp salad. It also works as part of a meze spread; if serving it as a main dish, add another side to make the meal more substantial.
Yes, canned black-eyed peas can save preparation time. Drain and rinse them, then add them after the onion and tomato mixture is cooked; simmer just long enough for the flavors to combine so the peas do not break apart.
Cook the peas gently and avoid stirring them vigorously. If you boil them separately, add them to the olive-oil and tomato mixture once they are nearly tender, then finish the stew over low heat.
Keep it covered in the refrigerator for about 3–4 days. Cool it promptly after cooking, and take out only the portion you plan to serve rather than leaving the whole container at room temperature.
Yes. Cool the stew, divide it into airtight portions, and freeze. Thaw it in the refrigerator and reheat it thoroughly; the peas may be softer after thawing, so stir gently as it warms.
It is commonly served as a side dish or as one item in a meze-style meal. You can make it the centerpiece of a meal by serving it with bread or grains and a fresh salad.

Black-eyed pea stew with olive oil is a Turkish home-style dish of dried black-eyed peas simmered until tender with olive oil, onion and often tomato. It is especially at home in the Aegean tradition of olive-oil dishes. The peas have a gently earthy flavour and soft, creamy texture, balanced by the sweetness of cooked onion.
It is commonly served cool or at room temperature as a meze or a side, with bread or alongside rice and other dishes. Its legumes make it a filling source of plant protein and fibre; each 100 g provides 5.7 g of fibre. For a fresher, lighter plate, add lemon just before serving and pair it with a crisp salad.
