Sort and rinse the dried black-eyed peas. Put in a pot with enough fresh water to keep them covered as they cook. Bring to a boil and simmer until soft, beginning checks after 40–60 minutes and adding water if necessary.
Add onion, tomatoes, chile and palm oil. Simmer for 10–15 minutes, stirring, until the vegetables soften and the mixture thickens.
Season with salt and continue cooking gently until the porridge is well combined and the beans are completely tender. Serve hot in four portions.
