Rinse the black-eyed peas and soak them in water overnight.

Drain the beans and place them in a large pot with the onion, garlic, and water.

Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and let simmer for about 2 hours, or until the beans are tender.

In the meantime, rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
