Black-Eyed Pea Salad with Baby Greens image

Baby spinach and red mustard leaves are more tender and spicy than the familiar varieties of those greens. You can use other spicy baby lettuces, such as chard and tatsoi, or look for packaged blends (sometimes called spring or Asian mix) in many supermarkets.

GREEK BLACK-EYED PEAS SALAD



Greek Black-Eyed Peas Salad image

Black-eyed peas may not be part of the Greek New Year's tradition, as they are in the American South, but this recipe still makes a great, light dish.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

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

Time 1h15m

Yield Serves four to six

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 cups black-eyed peas, washed and picked over
1 bay leaf
Salt to taste
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 red pepper, diced
2 plump garlic cloves, green shoots removed, minced
1 teaspoon cumin seeds, lightly crushed in a mortar
1 red onion, halved and sliced (optional)
Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/2 cup crumbled feta

Steps:

  • Place the beans in a pot with the bay leaf and cover with water by 2 to 3 inches. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, add salt to taste and simmer gently until peas are tender but not mushy, about 45 to 50 minutes. Drain through a colander set over a bowl. Transfer the black-eyed peas to a salad bowl.
  • Meanwhile, heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat, and add 1 tablespoon of the oil. When it is hot, add the red pepper and cook, stirring often, until just crisp-tender, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cumin seeds, and stir together for another minute or two until the garlic is fragrant. Remove from the heat and toss with the black-eyed peas. Toss with the vinegar, remaining olive oil, 1/4 cup of the bean broth, and salt and pepper to taste. Cool to room temperature.
  • If using the red onion, place it in a bowl, cover with cold water, and soak for 5 to 10 minutes. Drain and rinse. Add to the salad along with the dill and parsley. Toss well. Sprinkle the feta over the top, and serve.
