BLACK-EYED PEAS WITH CHARD AND GREEN HERB SMASH



Black-Eyed Peas With Chard and Green Herb Smash image

This is a super-quick stew which has its roots in Palestine. Pick your chard color here-the clean green Swiss or the sweet-shop-neon rainbow chard. It is not often that one vegetable provides such a bouquet of options. Sometimes, I like to top this with tahini for an extra layer of flavor.

Provided by Anna Jones

Categories     Pea     Stew     Soup/Stew     Chard     Cilantro     Walnut     Vegan     Vegetarian     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Dinner

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 21

For the peas:
1 leek
1 tablespoon coconut oil or olive oil
2 cloves garlic
A good pinch of chile powder or chopped dried chile
1 (14-ounce/400-g) can black-eyed peas
1 teaspoon vegetable stock powder or 1/2 stock cube
A good grating of nutmeg
1/2 unwaxed lemon
7 ounces/200 g bunch Swiss or rainbow chard
Sea salt and freshly ground pepper
For the herb smash:
A large bunch of cilantro
2 green chiles
2 cloves garlic
1 ounce/30 g shelled walnuts
1 tablespoon runny honey or maple syrup
1 tablespoon good olive oil
Juice of 1/2 a lemon
Sea salt and freshly ground pepper
Rice or flatbreads, to serve (optional)

Steps:

  • Fill and boil a kettle of water and get all your ingredients together. Put a large saucepan over heat.
  • Wash and finely slice the leek. Add to the saucepan with the coconut or olive oil and cook over medium heat for a couple of minutes, until soft and sweet. Finely slice the garlic and add to the pan with the chile powder and cook for a couple of minutes, until the garlic is beginning to brown. Add the black-eyed peas with their liquid, the stock powder, and 2/3 cup/200 ml of hot water from the kettle and bring to a simmer. Grate in the nutmeg, squeeze in the juice of the half lemon, add the squeezed lemon half to the pan, and simmer for 10 minutes or so. Meanwhile, strip the leaves from the chard stalks. Finely slice the stalks and add them to the pan, then finely shred the leaves and put to one side.
  • Put all the ingredients for the herb smash into a food processor and purée until you have a smooth, grassy paste. Season well with salt and pepper.
  • Once the peas are soft and flavorful and the liquid has reduced to a thick,soup-like consistency, stir in the chard leaves, season well with salt and pepper, and leave to cook for a couple of minutes. Scoop into deep bowls and spoon over the herb smash. If you're really hungry, some rice or flatbread would go well alongside.

FRITTATA WITH PEAS, HERBS AND FETA OR PARMESAN



Frittata With Peas, Herbs and Feta or Parmesan image

This frittata is just one good reason to stock peas in your freezer. My favorite herbs to use are tarragon and chives.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     breakfast, easy, quick

Time 30m

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 eggs
1 tablespoon milk
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1/3 cup fresh peas, steamed or cooked in salted boiling water for 4 to 5 minutes, or 1/3 cup thawed frozen peas
2 to 3 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs, like chives, tarragon or parsley
1 tablespoon, tightly packed, freshly grated Parmesan, or 1 ounce feta, crumbled
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Beat the eggs and milk in a bowl with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the peas, chopped herbs, and Parmesan or feta.
  • Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a heavy, 8-inch nonstick omelet pan. Drop a bit of egg into the pan and if it sizzles and cooks at once, the pan is ready. Pour in the egg mixture, scraping in every last bit with a heat-proof rubber spatula. Swirl the pan to distribute the eggs and filling evenly over the surface. Shake the pan gently, tilting it slightly with one hand while lifting up the edges of the frittata with the spatula in your other hand, to let the eggs run underneath during the first few minutes of cooking. Once a few layers of egg have cooked during the first couple of minutes of cooking, turn the heat down to low, cover and cook 7 to 10 minutes, until the frittata is puffed and just about set. From time to time remove the lid and loosen the bottom of the omelet with a wooden or heat-proof rubber spatula, tilting the pan, so that the bottom doesn't burn. It will however turn golden.
  • If the frittata is still runny on the top, wearing oven mitts, slide the frittata out onto a plate or even better, a saucepan lid that has a handle, reverse the pan over the plate or lid, and holding the two together, flip the plate or lid so that the frittata goes back into the pan on its not-quite-cooked side. Finish for no longer than a minute, then reverse onto a platter. Allow to cool to room temperature, and serve, or chill. Cut into 4 wedges to serve. The wedges pack well and are very portable.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender green peas. Avoid peas that are wrinkled or discolored.
  • Use a variety of herbs. This recipe calls for parsley, chives, and dill, but you can use any herbs that you like. Some other good options include basil, thyme, and rosemary. Note: using fresh herbs is recommended for optimal flavor.
  • Don't overcook the peas. They should be cooked just until they are tender, but still have a slight crunch. Overcooked peas will be mushy and bland.
  • Serve the peas warm. They are best enjoyed fresh out of the pan, but they can also be served at room temperature or chilled.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs. This will add a pop of color and flavor to the dish.

Conclusion:

Green peas with cheese and herbs is a simple but delicious dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover peas. The peas can be served as a side dish or as a main course. If you are serving the peas as a main course, you can add some cooked chicken or tofu to the dish for extra protein.

This recipe is also very versatile. You can use different types of cheese, herbs, and vegetables to create your own unique dish. For example, you could use feta cheese instead of Parmesan cheese, or add some chopped sun-dried tomatoes or roasted red peppers to the dish. Get creative and experiment with different flavors until you find a combination that you love.
