Drain. Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Saute onion and garlic in the hot oil until tender, 5 to 7 minutes.

Reduce heat and simmer until peas are tender and most, if not all, water is absorbed, 1 to 2 hours. Add more water if more cooking is needed. Taste and adjust salt and pepper if needed before serving. Cook's Note: You can season with cayenne pepper instead of black pepper if preferred.
