===== Ingredients =====
**Peanut Sauce**
  * 1 cup pigeon peas
  * 3 cups water

  * 2 cloves garlic minced
  * 1 tsp salt
  * 1 tbsp olive oil

===== Procedure =====

  - In a large pot heat the olive oil over a medium head
  - Add chopped onion and minced garlic and cook until the onion is translucent and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes
  - Add the rinsed pigeon peas to the pot and stir to combine with the onion and garlic
  - Add the water and salt to the pot and stir to combine
  - Bring the pot to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat and cover the pot with a lid
  - Allow the pigeon peas to simmar for about 30-40 minutes or until tender. Stir occasionally to prevent the peas from sticking to the bottom of the pot
  - Once the peas are tender, remove the pot from the heat and let it sit for a few minutes to cool
  - Drain any excess liquid from the peas before serving


Cooked pigeon peas can be used in a variety of dishes, including soups, stews, curries and salads. You can also add your choice of seasonings or herbs to customise the flavor to your liking.
