Black-Eyed Peas With Mustard Greens and Rice image

Adapted from: "Vegetable Soups from Deborah Madison's Kitchen". "A homey Sunday-night sort of soup that makes no pretensions to being hoppin' John or any other southern dish but simply a bowl of delicious nourishment. I've found that frozen black-eyed peas take as long to cook as dried ones that have been soaked--a good hour and a half. Brown butter mixed with roasted sesame oil has a vaguely meaty flavor, which isn't detectable as either butter or sesame." "Smoked Spanish paprika stands in for the smoky flavor of bacon or ham."

Yield 2 quarts, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
2 medium onions, finely diced
3 bay leaves
2 celery ribs, diced
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon spanish smoked paprika
1 teaspoon ground cumin
3 tablespoons celery leaves, chopped
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 cups frozen black-eyed peas (soak dried peas overnight) or 1 cup dried black-eyed peas (soak dried peas overnight)
2 quarts water
1 teaspoon sea salt
sea salt, to taste
fresh ground pepper, to taste
1 bunch mustard greens
1 cup cooked brown rice or 1 cup cooked white rice
hot sauce, to serve

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a wide soup pot over medium heat and let it brown for several minutes until it smells nutty.
  • Add the sesame oil, then the onions, bay leaves, celery, garlic, thyme, chile flakes, smoked paprika, cumin and celery leaves.
  • Cook stirring occasionally, until the onions have browned, about 20 minutes.
  • Stir in the tomato paste, then add the beans (drain them first if you used soaked dried), 2 quarts water, and 1 tsp salt.
  • Simmer, covered, until the beans are tender. Taste for salt and season with pepper.
  • Cut the mustard greens off their stems and wash them. Simmer in salted water to cover until tender, a few minutes, then transfer to a strainer, rinse with cool water, and chop. Stir them into the beans.
  • Taste once more for salt and season with plenty of pepper.
  • Add a few spoonfuls of rice to each bowl and serve with Tabasco, Crystal, or other favorite hot sauce on the side.
