Water

  1. Add
    • Water
    • Black-eyed peas

    Add water to a pot and bring it toward a boil; the water does not need to be hot or already boiling before adding the black-eyed peas.

  2. Put
    • Black-eyed peas

    Put the black-eyed peas directly into the pot and let them boil.

  3. Cook
    • Water

    As the peas cook, froth will develop on the surface of the water; use a slotted spoon to scoop out the froth and discard it.

  4. Boil
    • Zucchini
    • Water

    Once the water has started bubbling and boiling, add the sliced zucchini rounds.

  5. Cook
    • Black-eyed peas
    • Zucchini

    Continue boiling until both the black-eyed peas and zucchini are soft, tasting as they cook since timing can vary; this took around 30 minutes.

  6. Spoon
    • Olive oil
    • Lemon
    • Salt

    Spoon the louvi onto a plate and season generously with olive oil, lots of fresh lemon juice and salt.

  7. Serve

    Serve with tuna and white onion, and if desired tomato, cucumber, and black olives, along with bread.
