BLACK EYED PEA PASTA SALAD



Black Eyed Pea Pasta Salad image

This recipe was the result of me sifting through the leftovers I had and wanting some pasta salad. I love black-eyed peas, but whenever I make them we always have leftovers because I get tired of eating them plain. This is a great way to use up those leftovers, and a few other random ingredients you may have lying around. I'll give tips for some substitutions, but definitely make this your own using what you like. I'll post my vegetarian black eyed pea recipe separately.

Time 30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 lb rotini pasta (1/2 box)
1 1/2 cups cooked black-eyed peas (can use frozen, canned or homemade)
1 carrot, diced small
6 ounces cooked salmon (canned works, but leftover salmon is great)
1 cup artichoke heart (cut into quarters)
1 cup sliced mushrooms
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon salt (or to taste)
1/2 tablespoon pepper
3 garlic cloves (minced)
1/2 cup fresh cilantro (fresh, chopped fine)
2 green onions (sliced)
1/2 cup monterey jack pepper cheese (optional) or 1/2 cup parmesan cheese (optional)

Steps:

  • Bring a pot of water up to a rapid boil.
  • Drain off black-eyed peas, or if frozen submerse for a few minutes in boiling water until cooked through, with the aid of a strainer.
  • Lightly cook carrots for a few minutes in boiling water using a strainer to submerse and remove from water.
  • Lightly boil mushrooms the same way or cook them lightly in olive oil in a pan.
  • Add pasta to water and cook approximately 7 minutes. I usually undercook the pasta slightly so the pasta doesn't get too mushy after absorbing liquid in the salad, or if you want to eat the pasta hot later.
  • Mix together garlic, cilantro, green onions, yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if you like. Onion and garlic powder and parsley are also great additions.
  • Combine sauce with vegetables, black eyed peas and salmon flaked into small pieces and again taste and adjust seasoning.
  • Remove pasta and strain.
  • Mix pasta into vegetable mixture and give a final taste and adjust if needed.
  • Sprinkle cheese if using on top and heat in oven or microwave if desired.
  • This dish is also excellent cold, though I prefer it warm with some cheese melted on top.

LEMONY BLACK-EYED PEA AND CILANTRO SALAD



Lemony Black-Eyed Pea and Cilantro Salad image

This is delicious, low-fat and super-easy ... I like to load it up with extra cilantro and tomatoes. Also try using lime juice in place of the lemon juice for a little different taste. It's a perfect vegetarian main dish salad, or serve it as a side dish with grilled or roasted pork or ham. Prep time includes time spent in the refrigerator blending flavors; yield depends on whether salad is eaten as the main dish or as a side dish.

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.
