Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound dry black-eyed peas
6 cups cold water
1 teaspoon salt
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and coarsely chopped, (optional)
8 ounces rind and trimmings from Virginia ham, pancetta or bacon, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
2 onions (8 ounces), peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
4 cloves garlic, peeled and sliced (2 tablespoons)
1 1/2 pounds kale, collard greens or spinach, leaves cut into 2-inch pieces and stems into 1/2-inch pieces
Tabasco sauce (optional)

Steps:

  • Wash peas and discard any damaged ones and any foreign material. Place peas in a pot with the cold water, the salt and jalapeno pepper, if desired. Bring to a boil, turn heat very low, cover, and cook for 45 minutes, or until tender.
  • Meanwhile, place the pieces of ham in a saucepan and cook over medium to low heat until the ham is browned on all sides, about 10 minutes. Add the onions and garlic, and saute for about 1 minute.
  • Wash the kale carefully under cool water, and add it, still wet from washing, to the ham in the saucepan. Press down on the kale to contain it in the pan, cover and cook until wilted and soft, about 10 minutes. (If substituting collard greens or spinach for kale, don't cook them as long. The spinach, for example, will be tender in about one minute.)
  • At serving time, combine the kale mixture with the beans, stir, bring to a boil and simmer together for 8 to 10 minutes. Serve with Tabasco sauce, if desired.

I'm not a big fan of kale, but I really enjoyed this recipe. The kale was cooked perfectly and it didn't have a strong bitter taste.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover black-eyed peas. I made it with canned black-eyed peas and it turned out great.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I would make it again, but I would use less chili powder.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover black-eyed peas. I had some leftover from New Year's Day and I decided to make this ragout. It was a great way to use up the leftovers and it was a delicious and satisfying meal.

I love this recipe! It's one of my go-to meals when I'm short on time. The black-eyed peas and kale are so flavorful and the sauce is always perfect. I usually serve it over rice or pasta, but it's also great on its own.

This ragout was easy to make and very tasty. I used canned black-eyed peas and kale, and it still turned out great. I served it with some crusty bread and it was a perfect meal for a busy weeknight.
