If using dried, place black-eyed peas into a large container and cover with several inches of cool water; let stand for 8 hours to overnight. Drain and rinse peas.

Combine peas, onion, tomato sauce, olive oil, cilantro, garlic, salt, cumin, paprika, ginger, and cayenne pepper in a stockpot; pour 3 1/2 cups water over pea mixture. Bring water to a boil, decrease heat to low, cover pot, and simmer, stirring occasionally and adding more water if sauce gets too thick, until peas are tender, about 1 1/2 hours (45 minutes if using canned).

Personal Notes:
I happened to have cans of black-eyed peas kicking around in my pantry and needed to use them up...so off to the Allrecipes site I went. I have only made this recipe with canned black-eyed peas, you will see my notes based on this change. This can be thrown together as an easy side dish when using canned!

We use it as a side for Indian food, but it could really go with many meat entrees or as a vegetarian main with rice.
