BLACK-EYED PEA SALAD



Black-Eyed Pea Salad image

This salad is inspired by a Greek recipe that calls for lots of herb fennel. I couldn't find herb fennel, so I added a thinly sliced fennel bulb to the mix. Along with its refreshing flavor, the fennel bulb contributes a delightful contrasting crunchy texture. It's a great salad with or without the tomatoes.

Categories     salads and dressings

Time 2h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup black-eyed peas, rinsed and picked over
3 large garlic cloves, 2 of them crushed and left in the skin, 1 of them minced
1/2 onion, intact
1 bay leaf
Salt to taste
2 medium tomatoes, in season only, diced
1 medium fennel bulb (about 1/2 pound), trimmed, quartered, cored and sliced very thin across the grain
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar or cider vinegar
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon cumin seeds, lightly toasted and ground
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/3 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
1/3 cup chopped fresh dill
1/3 cup chopped chives
2 ounces feta, crumbled

Steps:

  • Place the black-eyed peas, whole crushed garlic cloves, halved onion and bay leaf in a large, heavy saucepan and add enough water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil, add salt to taste, reduce the heat, cover and simmer until tender but intact, about 45 minutes. Remove from the heat, remove the lid and allow the black-eyed peas to cool for 30 minutes. Remove and discard the onion. Remove the garlic cloves, squeeze the cooked garlic out of the skins and back into the black-eyed peas, and drain through a strainer set over a bowl.
  • Transfer the black-eyed peas to a large bowl. Whisk together the lemon juice, vinegar, minced garlic, cumin, salt, pepper and olive oil. Toss with the beans. Add the remaining ingredients except the feta and toss together. If you want a bit more liquid with the beans, add back some of the broth (I found the dressing to be sufficient). Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. Sprinkle the feta over the top and serve.

BLACK-EYED PEA SALAD



Black-Eyed Pea Salad image

Provided by Robert Irvine : Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon olive oil, approximately, as needed to brush on peppers
1 red bell pepper, halved, stemmed and seeds removed
1 yellow bell pepper, halved, stemmed and seeds removed
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
1 large clove garlic, lightly crushed with the side of a knife blade and quartered
1 cup olive oil, preferably extra-virgin
2 (16-ounce) cans black eyed peas, drained
2 tablespoons sliced scallions, white and tender green parts only (from about 6 scallions)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves, from about 1-ounce parsley, stems removed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Brush olive oil on the peppers, and place them cut side down on a piece of heavy duty aluminum foil (with the edges turned up to avoid drips.) Roast until charred, them remove them to a resealable plastic bag or tightly covered pan to sweat and cool down.
  • Make the vinaigrette just before use. Through the feed opening of a running blender, add vinegar and garlic. With the blender still running, pour olive oil in a slow thin stream. (Alternatively, you can prepare the vinaigrette by whisking the ingredients into a bowl in the same order, in which case, the garlic should be minced first.)
  • Return to the bell peppers and peel off the blackened skin. Slice the flesh of the peppers brunoise (julienne, then crosswise) and place in a mixing bowl. Fold in the drained black-eyed peas, scallions, and parsley. Stir in enough of the vinaigrette to coat. Serve family style.
