Black-Eyed Peas with Bulgur and Tomatoes

Preparation

1. Step 1

   Boil 1 cup water. Pour the water over the bulgur in a heatproof container. Cover and let stand until the water is absorbed, about 30 minutes. Or combine the water and bulgur in a small saucepan and simmer until the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes.

   Step 2

   Heat the oil in a stir-fry pan or wide skillet. Add the garlic and sauté over low heat until golden, about 2 minutes.

   Step 3

   Break up the tomatoes with your hands and add to the pan, followed by the black-eyed peas. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, and stir in the cooked bulgur.

   Step 4

   Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes, and serve.
