4 green banana peels
1 teaspoon turmeric
Salt
2 teaspoons coconut oil
½ black-eyed peas (if using fresh, soak overnight)
½ teaspoon mustard seeds
2 tablespoons unsweetened grated coconut
Juice of one lime
Chop peels into pieces and boil in water together with turmeric and dash of salt. Add a few drops of oil to the water to prevent sap from sticking to your pot. Boil and then simmer until skins are tender. Drain, reserving water for a later use.
Boil under tender if you use fresh black-eyed peas. And if you use canned, rinse and drain beans.
Heat coconut oil in skillet or pan on a medium heat. Then add mustard seeds and cook it until they begin to pop.
Add the boiled peels and black-eyed peas, stir, and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in coconut. Add salt and finish with lime juice. You can serve it.
