Nigerian-Style Black-Eyed Pea and Spinach Stew with Smoked Fish

This stew simmers black-eyed peas in a lightly spiced tomato-pepper base, then folds in flaked smoked fish and fresh spinach right at the end so the greens keep their color. Red palm oil adds a savory, distinctly West African backbone.

This recipe is tagged for fertility-supportive eating because black-eyed peas, spinach, and smoked fish bring plant and animal protein alongside iron and folate, nutrients commonly emphasized in fertility-focused nutrition guidance. There's no added sugar anywhere in the pot, just warm, savory spice.
