Step-By-Step Instructions:
-
Add the vegetable oil to a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the flour and cook, stirring, until golden, about 3 minutes.
-
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.
-
Add the salt (optional), ground black pepper, and Cajun seasoning. Cook for another minute.
-
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.
-
Simmer, covered, for 40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
-
Add the spinach and black-eyed peas. Continue to simmer until the spinach is wilted.
