Despite how spectacular the flavors are, this Hoppin’ John With Okra and Tomato Stew recipe from Adam Merrin and Ryan Alvarez is actually easy to make. There may be a long list of ingredients, but besides the rice, everything is simply cooked together in one large pot.

But it’s totally understandable: here, tender black-eyed peas are simmered with sautéed onions, mounds of garlic, crisp celery and bell peppers, and stirred with diced tomatoes, sliced cabbage and nine potent herbs like thyme, bay leaves, smoked paprika and cayenne pepper. Topped with toasted rice, shredded kale, halved cherry tomatoes, green onions, and thinly sliced okra, these colorful garnishes also add a satisfying texture and a pop of bright color.
