Tips

A tight lid and low heat: the vegetable cooks in the steam of the little liquid and softens evenly, without burning or falling apart.

More Ways

After the tomato paste and crushed tomatoes, add about 2 cups stock or water, bring to a boil and cook over low heat for about 45 minutes, until the black-eyed peas have softened and the sauce is rich and thick.
Cooked artichokes: for each head, half a lemon, ½ tablespoon salt, half a garlic clove and ½ teaspoon olive oil in the water; in a regular pot about 40 minutes over low heat.
