SLOW-COOKER HAM AND BLACK-EYED PEA SOUP



Slow-Cooker Ham and Black-Eyed Pea Soup image

This recipe is proof that soup is a perfect food to slow cook. The low and slow cooking softens up the ham hock and infuses the black-eyed peas with loads of flavor, without turning them to mush. And after it's finished its flavoring duties, that ham hock still has more to give your soup. The meat that's clinging to the hock gets chopped into bits and added back in for a toothsome texture and heartiness that'll satisfy the whole family. So next time you need a set-it-and-forget-it family dinner, you know what to do.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, weekday, soups and stews, main course

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 bunch rainbow chard
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 yellow onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
2 teaspoons ground cumin seeds
1/2 pound (1 1/8 cups) black-eyed peas, rinsed
1/2 cup barley
1 medium beet, peeled and cut in small dice
1 1/2 to 2 quarts water (to taste)
Salt to taste
1/4 cup pomegranate molasses (more to taste)
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1 generous bunch cilantro, chopped
1 cup thick yogurt
Seeds of 1 ripe medium-size pomegranate

Steps:

  • Wash and stem the chard, and if the stems are wide and thick, cut the thickest parts of them into small dice (discard the thin parts). Heat the oil over medium heat in a large, heavy soup pot and add the onion and chard stems. Cook, stirring often, until the onion is very tender and lightly colored, about 10 minutes. Stir in the garlic, turmeric and cumin and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds to a minute. Add the black-eyed peas, barley, beet and water and bring to a gentle boil. Add salt to taste and the molasses. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer 45 minutes to an hour, until the beans and barley are tender. Add freshly ground pepper, taste and adjust salt.
  • Stir in the chard and the cilantro. Simmer for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until the chard is tender but still bright. Taste, adjust seasoning, and serve, garnishing each bowl with a spoonful of yogurt and pomegranate seeds.

Tips:

  • Soak the black-eyed peas: Soaking the peas overnight or for at least 4 hours before cooking helps to soften them and reduce cooking time.
  • Use a variety of spices: The curry powder in this recipe is a blend of several spices, but you can also add other spices to your taste. Some good options include cumin, coriander, and turmeric.
  • Don't overcook the peas: Black-eyed peas are best when they are cooked until tender but still have a slight bite to them. Overcooking can make them mushy.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings: This soup is delicious on its own, but you can also serve it with a variety of toppings. Some popular options include chopped cilantro, yogurt, or a squeeze of lemon juice.

Conclusion:

This Curried Black-Eyed Pea Soup is a hearty, flavorful, and nutritious meal that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover black-eyed peas. With its combination of spices and fresh vegetables, this soup is sure to please everyone at the table.
