Vinagrete de Feijão-Fradinho

Soak black-eyed peas in water for at least 2 hours, changing the water occasionally.

Drain black-eyed peas and discard the soaking water.

Place black-eyed peas in a pressure cooker with bay leaf and salt. Cover with water and cook for 7 minutes after pressure is reached.

Turn off the heat, let the pressure release completely, and open the cooker.

Drain black-eyed peas and set aside.

In a bowl, mix tomato, red onion, green bell pepper, olive oil, vinegar, finger chili pepper, and cilantro.

Add black-eyed peas to the vinaigrette and toss well.
