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.
