BLACK-EYED PEAS WITH SAUSAGE AND TOMATOES
This is based on a favorite recipe from a friend, but modified to be lower in fat: (1) uses Italian turkey sausage instead of regular Italian sausage; (2) halved the amount of sausage used in the original recipe; (3) cooked sausage in water instead of frying in oil as per the original recipe; (4) replaced cheddar with 2% milk sharp cheddar cheese. Even with these modifications, this dish packs plenty of flavor -- I don't miss a thing from the original recipe.

BLACK-EYED PEAS WITH VEGETABLES AND SMALL PASTA
The range of bean and vegetable main dishes in the Greek repertory is striking; every region has its specialties. Many of the traditional dishes are called "olive oil dishes" (or ladera), because they are cooked with copious amounts of extra virgin olive oil. I tone down the amounts in my kitchen. But I still use enough to ensure that the broth accompanying vegetables or beans is alchemized to a velvety sauce, often enhanced with a splash of fresh lemon juice or vinegar just before serving. Since black-eyed peas require no soaking, you can cook this after work so long as you have some vegetables around the house. It is an utterly simple dish that I've adapted from a recipe in Ms. Kochilas's cookbook.

Steps:
- Cover the black-eyed peas with water, bring to a boil and then drain.
- Combine the drained black-eyed peas, onion, carrots, red bell pepper, dissolved tomato paste, garlic, bay leaf, hot pepper and 1/4 cup olive oil in a large soup pot or Dutch oven. Cover with water by 2 inches, and bring to a gentle boil. Cover the pot, reduce the heat to low and simmer 20 minutes. Add salt to taste, and continue to simmer until the beans and vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes more. Taste and adjust seasoning. Add the pasta, increase the heat to medium-high, and simmer five to 10 minutes, until the pasta is cooked and much of the liquid has been absorbed. Stir in the greens, another 2 tablespoons olive oil if desired and the vinegar. Allow to cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
