Method
 

  1. Rinse and sort the dried black-eyed peas under cold water, then soak them for at least 4 hours or overnight. Drain and set aside.
  2. Chop the onion, green bell pepper, and carrot, and mince the garlic.
  3. In the crockpot, combine the soaked black-eyed peas, vegetable broth, chopped onion, minced garlic, bell pepper, diced carrot, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, pepper, and bay leaves. Drizzle with olive oil and stir well.
  4. Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, stirring occasionally if possible.
  5. Once cooked, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Remove bay leaves before serving.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.

Notes

Soaking the peas is crucial for better texture. Use low-sodium broth for better control over saltiness.
