Steps:
- Preheat a grill pan over high heat. Grill the onion rings until charred, about 2 minutes per side. If the steak is too large to fit in the pan, cut it in half. Combine 3 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a bowl, then brush over the meat. Grill the steak until slightly charred, 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest at least 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the turnips and cook until fork-tender, about 8 minutes. Add the black-eyed peas and tomatoes and cook until warmed through, about 3 minutes. Stir in the onion rings and vinegar and remove from the heat.
- Cut the steak into 3-inch-long sections along the grain, then thinly slice the meat against the grain. Stir the basil and chives into the black-eyed peas and serve with the steak.

BLACK-EYED PEA BURGERS WITH CREAMY BARBECUE SAUCE AND CHOWCHOW
Black-eyed peas traveled from Africa to the Americas on the same Middle Passage as enslaved Africans in the 1600s, and continue to connect families with flavors and stories on both sides of the ocean. As a child of both continents, I honor the rich legacy of the ancestral foodways created from this magical bean. In these patties, black-eyed peas and amaranth create a creamy yet textured foundation on which to layer the umami-rich flavors of mushroom, miso, and tamari and the piquancy of parsley, onion, and Scotch bonnet chiles. Using flaxseed meal as a binding agent not only means this dish is easily vegan, it also grants the patty an earthy final note that resonates on a sunny summer day in the backyard. (If you'd like, you can also cook these in a skillet on the grill.) I serve these patties with an easy sweet-and-tangy barbecue-mayo sauce-which can also be used as a dipping sauce for sweet potato fries or a dressing for a grain bowl or salad-and chowchow.

Steps:
- Patties
- Cook amaranth, according to package directions. Spread out on a rimmed baking sheet and let cool.
- Combine scallions, mushrooms, chile, black-eyed peas, parsley, tamari, flaxseed meal, miso, and ½ tsp. salt in a food processor. Sprinkle 1-2 Tbsp. cooled amaranth over mixture and pulse until just combined. Repeat process until all of amaranth has been incorporated. Taste and season purée with pepper and more salt if needed. Scoop onto a parchment-lined baking sheet to make 6 portions (a cookie scoop works great if you've got one) and form into patties that match the size of your buns. Freeze 30 minutes.
- Sauce and assembly
- While the patties are chilling, make the sauce. Whisk barbecue sauce, mayonnaise, chili-garlic sauce, mustard, lemon juice, and vinegar in a small bowl to combine. Sauce should taste spicy, tart, and sweet.
- Heat a large skillet, preferably cast-iron, over medium-low. Pour in oil just to thinly coat bottom of pan. Working in 3 batches to avoid crowding, cook patties, adjusting heat and adding more oil as needed, until browned (a crisp crust should form), about 5 minutes per side. (You can keep patties warm on a fresh parchment-lined baking sheet in a 250° oven if needed.)
- Build burgers with patties, buns, sauce, and chowchow.
- Do ahead: Sauce can be made 1 month ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before serving.
