NEW YEAR'S BLACK-EYED PEA SALAD



New Year's Black-Eyed Pea Salad image

A southerner would scoff at this dish, which contains no ham hocks or salt pork. The vibrant salad, which I like to serve warm, makes it very clear that those ingredients are not essential for great black-eyed peas.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Time 45m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
3 or 4 garlic cloves, minced
1 pound black-eyed peas, washed and picked over
6 cups water
1 bay leaf
Salt to taste
1/4 cup red wine vinegar or sherry vinegar
1 garlic clove, minced
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 to 2 teaspoons lightly toasted cumin, ground (to taste)
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 cup broth from the beans
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 large red bell pepper, diced
1/2 cup chopped cilantro

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large, heavy soup pot over medium heat and add the onion. Cook, stirring, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add half the garlic and cook, stirring, until the garlic is fragrant, 30 seconds to a minute. Add the black-eyed peas and the water and bring to a simmer. Skim off any foam from the surface of the water. Add the bay leaf and salt to taste (1 to 2 teaspoons). Reduce the heat, cover and simmer 30 minutes. Taste and add more salt if desired. Add the remaining garlic, cover and simmer until the beans are tender but intact. Taste and adjust salt. Remove from the heat and carefully drain through a colander or strainer set over a bowl. Transfer the beans to a large salad bowl.
  • In a pyrex measuring cup or a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, garlic, salt, pepper, cumin, and mustard. Whisk in 1/2 cup of the bean broth, then the olive oil. Taste and adjust seasonings. Add a little more vinegar if you wish. Stir the dressing into the warm beans. Stir in the red pepper and cilantro, and serve, or allow to cool and serve at room temperature.

WHITE BEAN SALAD WITH ROASTED CAULIFLOWER



White Bean Salad With Roasted Cauliflower image

This is the kind of substantial salad that's nice to have on hand, no matter the occasion. If you have time, it's best made with large dried white beans, such as cannellini, simmered at home. (It's great to have a pot of cooked beans in the fridge all summer long, for deploying in salads and soups.) But using canned beans is absolutely OK. The recipe calls for roasting the cauliflower, but it could also be cooked on a grill to impart some pleasant smokiness.

Provided by David Tanis

Categories     dinner, lunch, salads and dressings, vegetables, appetizer, side dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 small head cauliflower, cut into ½-inch slices
Extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and black pepper
4 cups cooked white beans or 2 (15-ounce) cans, drained
1 cup thinly sliced celery heart (the tender inner stalks and leaves)
3 tablespoons chopped parsley
3 tablespoons slivered scallions
1 large shallot, diced small
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, plus more to taste
1/2 teaspoon ground fennel (optional)
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more to taste
Salt and black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Put cauliflower on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Roast on the top rack until nicely browned, 20 to 25 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • Make the dressing: Put shallot in a small bowl with mustard, lemon juice, lemon zest, vinegar and ground fennel, if using. Stir well to combine, then whisk in olive oil. Season to taste.
  • Make the salad: Put beans in a low salad bowl. Add celery and cauliflower, pour the dressing over and toss well, taking care not to crush beans. Let salad rest for 30 minutes or so to meld flavors. Taste and adjust for salt, acid and oil. Add parsley and scallions, toss once more, then serve at room temperature.

CLASSIC BEAN SALAD



Classic Bean Salad image

You can use any kind or combination of canned beans to make this classic picnic salad, but a mix of white beans, chickpeas and red kidney beans makes it especially colorful. Although this is delicious when freshly made, it gets even better as it sits. If you have time, make it at least an hour or two before serving; it can rest at room temperature for up to 4 hours - but after that, slip it into the fridge. If you want to make this the day before, add the celery and parsley just before serving, so they stay crisp and green.

3-Bean Good Luck Salad With Cumin Vinaigrette image

This is a colorful variation of the black-eyed peas salad I always serve at my New Year's Day open house. You can cook the black beans and red beans together or separately. The black-eyed peas cook more quickly so should be cooked separately.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, lunch, salads and dressings, main course, side dish

Time 1h45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

3/4 cup dried black beans, washed, picked over and soaked for 6 hours or overnight in 3 cups water
3/4 cup dried red beans or kidney beans, washed, picked over and soaked for 6 hours or overnight in 3 cups water
2 onions, halved
4 garlic cloves, minced
Salt to taste
3/4 cup black-eyed peas, washed and picked over

2 teaspoons lightly toasted cumin, ground
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 cup broth from the beans
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 red bell pepper, diced
1/2 cup chopped cilantro

Steps:

  • Place a strainer over a bowl and drain the black beans. Add enough water to the soaking water to measure 6 cups. Drain the red beans and discard the soaking water. Combine the black and red beans, water, all but 1/2 onion, and 3 of the garlic cloves in a large, heavy pot and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer 1 hour. Add salt to taste (beans take a lot of salt) and continue to simmer for another 30 minutes, or until the beans are tender but intact. Remove and discard the onions. Set a strainer over a bowl and drain. Measure out 1/4 cup of the broth.
  • Meanwhile in a separate pot combine the black-eyed peas, remaining 1/2 onion and garlic clove, the bay leaf and 3 cups water. Bring to a boil, add salt to taste, cover, reduce the heat and simmer 45 minutes, or until the beans are tender but intact. Remove and discard the bay leaf and onion. Set a strainer over a bowl and drain. Measure out 1/4 cup of the broth and add to the black and red bean broth.
  • In a bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the dressing ingredients. Combine all of the beans in a large bowl and toss with the dressing. Taste and adjust salt. At this point the mixture can be refrigerated, or the salad can be served warm or at room temperature.
  • Stir the peppers and cilantro into the beans and serve.

Try to use Jersey royals in this healthy take on a picnic classic then swap the mayo for honey mustard vinaigrette

Provided by Sara Buenfeld

Categories     Side dish

Time 18m

Number Of Ingredients 7

500g medium new potato (Jersey royals if you can get them), thickly sliced
200g green bean , trimmed
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp clear honey
1 tsp wholegrain mustard
3 tbsp olive oil
4 spring onions , thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Boil potatoes in salted water for 8 mins until just tender, then drain and keep warm (they will absorb the dressing better than cold potatoes). Meanwhile, steam the beans in a steamer over the potatoes for 4 mins. Keep a close eye on them as you want them to be just tender rather than soft. Cool the beans under the cold tap to keep their colour.
  • Mix the dressing ingredients in a bowl. Add the warm potatoes and beans, and toss really well to coat in the dressing. (Warm potatoes absorb the dressing better than cold ones.)
