Kenyan Black-Eyed Peas and Tomatoes (Kunde)

In Kenya this eponymous stew is a popular way to cook Kunde, Swahili for black-eyed peas. Served over rice, it often makesa full meal. I found this on the internet. Posted for ZWT7-Africa.

• Ready In: 35 mins
• Serves: 4-6
• Yields: 1 stew

Ingredients

• 2  tablespoons  oil
• 1  onion, minced
• 2  cups tomatoes, seeded and diced
• 2  cups black-eyed peas, cooked
• 1⁄4 cup  natural-style peanut butter
• 1⁄4 cup water
•  salt and pepper

Directions

1. Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium flame. Add the onion and saute until translucent. Add the tomatoes and simmer about 5 minutes to cook them down.
2. Stir in the remaining ingredients and lightly mash the peas with the back of a spoon. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add more water as needed to get a stew-like consistency.
3. Adjust seasonings and serve over rice.
