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.

SUMMER BLACK-EYED-PEA SALAD



Summer Black-Eyed-Pea Salad image

In this colorful salad, okra, vine-ripened tomatoes, fresh black-eyed peas, and corn are braised and served at room temperature with an oregano vinaigrette.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 teaspoon salt, plus more for sauce and seasoning
4 vine-ripened tomatoes
4 ears fresh corn, husks removed
4 cups Traditional Black-Eyed Peas, with cooking liquid
8 sprigs fresh oregano or marjoram
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, plus more for seasoning
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound fresh okra, ends trimmed
1/4 cup red-wine or sherry vinegar

Steps:

  • Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Using a paring knife, score the nonstem ends of the tomatoes; place 2 tomatoes at a time in boiling water. Leave just until skins begin to pull away, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Reserving liquid, use a slotted spoon to transfer tomatoes to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. When cool enough to handle, gently peel off skin with your fingers. Set tomatoes aside.
  • Place the corn in the same boiling water, and cook until just tender, about 3 minutes. When cool enough to handle, stand one ear of corn on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, cut down the length of the ear, removing the corn kernels. Repeat with remaining ears of corn. Set corn kernels aside.
  • Discard water in pot, and refill to 3/4-inch level with the black-eyed-pea cooking liquid or water. Add 5 sprigs oregano to the liquid along with 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Arrange tomatoes and okra in the water; cover, and bring to just below the boiling point over medium-high heat. Keep covered; reduce heat so liquid just simmers. Cook until okra is just tender, 4 to 8 minutes; gently stir after 2 minutes so all of the okra is wet with the liquid. Do not overcook the okra. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the okra and tomatoes to a large serving platter. Discard liquid.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, salt and pepper to taste, and the remaining 5 tablespoons olive oil. Finely chop remaining oregano, and whisk it into vinegar mixture. Arrange the corn and peas on the platter. Drizzle with the vinaigrette. Let sit at room temperature about 20 minutes; serve.
