BLACK-EYED PEAS WITH COLLARD GREENS



Black-Eyed Peas With Collard Greens image

Black-eyed peas with collard greens sounds like a Southern dish, and indeed it would be if you threw in a ham hock and took away the dill. But this recipe actually is inspired by a Greek dish that combines black-eyed peas with wild greens.

Categories     one pot

Time 1h30m

Yield Serves six

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 pound black-eyed peas, rinsed
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
3 large garlic cloves, minced
1 bay leaf
Salt to taste
1 large bunch collard greens (1 1/2 to 2 pounds), stemmed, washed well and chopped or cut in ribbons
2 tablespoons tomato paste dissolved in 1/2 cup water
1/4 to 1/2 cup chopped fresh dill (to taste)
Freshly ground pepper to taste
For topping (optional): crumbled feta or fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Place the black-eyed peas in a large saucepan, cover with water by two inches, bring to a boil and then drain. Combine with half the onion and one of the garlic cloves in the saucepan. Add water to cover by two inches, and bring back to a simmer. Add the bay leaf, and reduce the heat. Add salt to taste, cover and simmer 30 minutes, until the beans are just tender. Drain through a strainer set over a bowl.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a large, ovenproof lidded skillet or Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil over medium heat and add the remaining onion. Cook, stirring, until tender, about five minutes, and add the remaining garlic. Stir together for 30 seconds to a minute, until fragrant. A handful at a time, stir in the greens. As the greens wilt, stir in another handful, until all the greens have been added and have collapsed in the pan. Add the dissolved tomato paste and stir together. Add salt to taste. Add the beans and enough cooking liquid to barely cover everything, cover and place in the oven for 30 minutes, until the collards are tender and the beans very soft.
  • Uncover the pot, and add a bit of liquid if the beans are dry. Stir in the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and the dill, cover and continue to simmer for another 10 minutes. Add salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. Serve warm or hot. If you wish, top with crumbled feta or a squeeze of lemon.

SMOKY VEGETARIAN BLACK-EYED PEAS WITH COLLARD GREENS



Smoky Vegetarian Black-Eyed Peas with Collard Greens image

I devised this recipe after a New Year's Day at a friend's house. She ate black-eyed peas for the good luck, not because she liked them! I challenged myself to come up with something not only edible, but delicious and nutritious as well! It's also deceptively simple (especially if you sub canned black-eyed peas for dried). I hope you like the results! This is delicious as-is or served over brown rice.

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 18

Sauté ingredients:
1 tsp (5 ml) oil (or *dry sauté or add a little water/vegetable broth)
1 medium to large onion, thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup (149 g) diced red pepper
1 small jalapeño or other hot chile, minced
Pressure cooker first cook:
2 tsp (4 g) smoked paprika
1-2 tsp (3-5 g) chili powder
1 1/2 cups (218 g) dried black-eyed peas, soaked overnight and drained
4 dates, finely chopped
1 1/2 cups (355 ml) water or vegetable broth, plus more as needed
Pressure cooker second cook:
1 (15-oz [425-g]) can fire-roasted tomatoes with green chiles
2 cups (32 g) chopped greens (such as kale, collards or Swiss chard)
Salt to taste
For serving:
Hot sauce such as Tabasco or Texas Pete

Steps:

  • For the sauté, use the sauté setting over normal, or medium heat, and heat the oil (if using). Add the onion and sauté until transparent, 5 minutes. Then add the garlic and peppers and sauté for a minute more.
  • For the first pressure cook, add the smoked paprika, chili powder and black-eyed peas and stir. Add the dates and water but do not stir. Put the lid on the Instant Pot and cook at high pressure for 3 minutes. Let the pressure release naturally.
  • For the second pressure cook, open the lid carefully. Add the tomatoes and greens. Return to high pressure for 1 more minute, then turn the valve to release manually. Add salt to taste.
  • To serve, you can add as much hot sauce as you want to the pot or pass it at the table so diners can add it themselves.

Tips:

  • Soak the black-eyed peas overnight: Soaking the peas overnight helps to reduce the cooking time and makes them more digestible.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe calls for collard greens, but you can use any type of greens you like, such as kale, spinach, or turnip greens.
  • Add some spice: Don't be afraid to add some heat to this dish! Cayenne pepper, chili powder, or smoked paprika are all good options.
  • Cook the peas until they are tender but still hold their shape: You don't want to overcook the peas, or they will become mushy.
  • Serve with rice or cornbread: This dish is traditionally served with rice or cornbread, but you can also serve it with other sides, such as mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.

Conclusion:

This smoky vegetarian black-eyed peas with collard greens is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it is easy to make. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy vegetarian meal, give this recipe a try!
