Directions

  1. Add the vegetable oil to a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the flour and cook, stirring, until golden, about 3 minutes.

  2. Add the onion, bell peppers, celery, and garlic. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables soften, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. Add the salt (optional), ground black pepper, and Cajun seasoning. Cook for another minute.

  4. Pour in the vegetable broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cover.

  5. Simmer, covered, for 40 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  6. Add the spinach and black-eyed peas. Continue to simmer until the spinach is wilted.
