How to Prepare Black-Eyed Pea and Cachupa Broth With Potato Farls [Vegan]

To Make the Cachupa Broth:
  1. Rinse off the soaked cachupa and place in a pan of boiling water. Boil until the cachupa is soft, approximately 30 minutes.
  2. While the cachupa is cooking, heat the olive in a large stock pot over medium-low heat, add the onions and cook until soft, about five minutes. Add the garlic, leek and carrot and continue to cook for a further five minutes.
  3. Pour in the can of tomatoes and vegetable stock, turn up the heat and bring to the boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for about 15 minutes.
  4. Add the salt, pepper, black-eyed peas and the now soft drained cachupa and add to the broth, stir through and simmer for a few minutes to heat the beans.
  5. Stir through the spinach just before serving and sprinkle on the parsley.
To Make the Potato Farls:
  1. Place the potatoes in a pan of salted boiling water and boil until soft, approximately 10 minutes. Strain and leave to steam until potatoes are dry
  2. Mash potatoes with the olive oil and salt, then knead in the flour. Turn out onto a floured surface and pat dough into a large 12-inch round.
  3. Heat a large skillet on a medium heat and lightly flour the surface.
  4. Slice the round of dough into four or eight slices. Carefully lift and place in the skillet
  5. Cook until browned and golden on the bottom, approximately 5-10 minutes, then flip and cook the other side on a medium heat
  6. Once the bread is cooked and browned on either side and it has firmed up, serve up warm alongside soups and stews. I also love to eat this warm with just vegan butter and jam on top.
