BLACK-EYED PEAS WITH COLLARD GREENS



Black-Eyed Peas With Collard Greens image

Black-eyed peas with collard greens sounds like a Southern dish, and indeed it would be if you threw in a ham hock and took away the dill. But this recipe actually is inspired by a Greek dish that combines black-eyed peas with wild greens.

Categories     one pot

Time 1h30m

Yield Serves six

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 pound black-eyed peas, rinsed
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
3 large garlic cloves, minced
1 bay leaf
Salt to taste
1 large bunch collard greens (1 1/2 to 2 pounds), stemmed, washed well and chopped or cut in ribbons
2 tablespoons tomato paste dissolved in 1/2 cup water
1/4 to 1/2 cup chopped fresh dill (to taste)
Freshly ground pepper to taste
For topping (optional): crumbled feta or fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Place the black-eyed peas in a large saucepan, cover with water by two inches, bring to a boil and then drain. Combine with half the onion and one of the garlic cloves in the saucepan. Add water to cover by two inches, and bring back to a simmer. Add the bay leaf, and reduce the heat. Add salt to taste, cover and simmer 30 minutes, until the beans are just tender. Drain through a strainer set over a bowl.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a large, ovenproof lidded skillet or Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil over medium heat and add the remaining onion. Cook, stirring, until tender, about five minutes, and add the remaining garlic. Stir together for 30 seconds to a minute, until fragrant. A handful at a time, stir in the greens. As the greens wilt, stir in another handful, until all the greens have been added and have collapsed in the pan. Add the dissolved tomato paste and stir together. Add salt to taste. Add the beans and enough cooking liquid to barely cover everything, cover and place in the oven for 30 minutes, until the collards are tender and the beans very soft.
  • Uncover the pot, and add a bit of liquid if the beans are dry. Stir in the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and the dill, cover and continue to simmer for another 10 minutes. Add salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. Serve warm or hot. If you wish, top with crumbled feta or a squeeze of lemon.

SMOKY VEGETARIAN BLACK-EYED PEAS WITH COLLARD GREENS



Smoky Vegetarian Black-Eyed Peas with Collard Greens image

I devised this recipe after a New Year's Day at a friend's house. She ate black-eyed peas for the good luck, not because she liked them! I challenged myself to come up with something not only edible, but delicious and nutritious as well! It's also deceptively simple (especially if you sub canned black-eyed peas for dried). I hope you like the results! This is delicious as-is or served over brown rice.

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 large cloves garlic, minced
1 bunch collard greens - rinsed, trimmed and chopped
½ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
salt to taste

Steps:

  • Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add black-eyed peas and boil for 1 minute. Drain.

  • Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and saute until soft, about 30 seconds.

Tips:

  • Soak the black-eyed peas overnight: Soaking the peas helps to soften them and reduce the cooking time. If you don't have time to soak them overnight, you can quick-soak them by boiling them for 1 minute, then removing them from the heat and letting them sit for 1 hour.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. Feel free to add or substitute other vegetables that you like, such as bell peppers, carrots, or celery.
  • Don't overcook the greens: Collard greens can become tough if they are overcooked. Cook them just until they are tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Season to taste: This recipe is a good starting point, but you may want to adjust the seasonings to your liking. Add more salt, pepper, or smoked paprika to taste.
  • Serve with cornbread or rice: This dish is traditionally served with cornbread or rice. It also goes well with mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.

Conclusion:

This smoky vegetarian black-eyed peas with collard greens is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your liking. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy vegetarian meal, give this recipe a try!
