BLACK-EYED PEAS WITH CHARD AND GREEN HERB SMASH

This is a super-quick stew which has its roots in Palestine. Pick your chard color here-the clean green Swiss or the sweet-shop-neon rainbow chard. It is not often that one vegetable provides such a bouquet of options. Sometimes, I like to top this with tahini for an extra layer of flavor.

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 21

For the peas:
1 leek
1 tablespoon coconut oil or olive oil
2 cloves garlic
A good pinch of chile powder or chopped dried chile
1 (14-ounce/400-g) can black-eyed peas
1 teaspoon vegetable stock powder or 1/2 stock cube
A good grating of nutmeg
1/2 unwaxed lemon
7 ounces/200 g bunch Swiss or rainbow chard
Sea salt and freshly ground pepper
For the herb smash:
A large bunch of cilantro
2 green chiles
2 cloves garlic
1 ounce/30 g shelled walnuts
1 tablespoon runny honey or maple syrup
1 tablespoon good olive oil
Juice of 1/2 a lemon
Sea salt and freshly ground pepper
Rice or flatbreads, to serve (optional)

Steps:

  • Fill and boil a kettle of water and get all your ingredients together. Put a large saucepan over heat.
  • Wash and finely slice the leek. Add to the saucepan with the coconut or olive oil and cook over medium heat for a couple of minutes, until soft and sweet. Finely slice the garlic and add to the pan with the chile powder and cook for a couple of minutes, until the garlic is beginning to brown. Add the black-eyed peas with their liquid, the stock powder, and 2/3 cup/200 ml of hot water from the kettle and bring to a simmer. Grate in the nutmeg, squeeze in the juice of the half lemon, add the squeezed lemon half to the pan, and simmer for 10 minutes or so. Meanwhile, strip the leaves from the chard stalks. Finely slice the stalks and add them to the pan, then finely shred the leaves and put to one side.
  • Put all the ingredients for the herb smash into a food processor and purée until you have a smooth, grassy paste. Season well with salt and pepper.
  • Once the peas are soft and flavorful and the liquid has reduced to a thick,soup-like consistency, stir in the chard leaves, season well with salt and pepper, and leave to cook for a couple of minutes. Scoop into deep bowls and spoon over the herb smash. If you're really hungry, some rice or flatbread would go well alongside.

BLACK EYED PEAS WITH HERBS

As part of the Zaar World Tour I've been in search of international recipes that look and appeal to me. This recipe is from Madhur Jaffrey's International Vegetarian. Though this dish is Syrian variations are common through out the Mediterranean. For a quick dish, you can substitute the dried peas and soaking with 3 1/2 cups of canned of black-eyed peas. If you go that route, try rinsing the beans and using a cup of vegetable broth in lieu of the cooking liquid. Don't let the cooking time scare you off, it's soaking and simmer time that leaves you free to tend to other things. Consider greens and rice as an accompaniment to this dish.
