BLACK-EYED PEAS

Steps:

• Drain the peas, discarding the water, and set them aside. In a large skillet over medium heat, put the butter onion and shallot. When the butter is melted, increase the heat and add the peas. Mix with a wooden spoon, cover and cook about 8 minutes. Pour the contents of the skillet into a large pot, adding enough water to cover the peas. Bring to a boil, and add green bell pepper, salt and black pepper. Lower the heat to medium, and cook 50 to 60 minutes, or until peas are tender.

HEALTHY COLLARD GREENS AND BLACK-EYED PEAS OVER OATS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large, low-sided stockpot or Dutch oven set over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook until they start to soften and are brown in parts, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and ham, and cook until the garlic softens, about 2 minutes. Add the collard greens, broth, vinegar, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Stir to combine and cook, covered, until the collards are tender, 20 to 30 minutes. Stir in the black-eyed peas and butter, and cook until the beans are warmed through, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, fill a large saucepan three-quarters with water. Salt lightly and bring to a boil. Add the oats and cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender, about 15 minutes. Drain the oats and divide them among six bowls. Top with the collard greens, ham and black-eyed peas. Serve immediately with hot sauce if using.

BLACK-EYED PEA MASALA

Steps:

• Drain your peas.
• Heat oil/ghee (allow to melt) in a medium heavy pot over medium heat and fry chiles, garlic, onion, and ginger for approx 6 minutes.
• Add your curry powder/garam masala, turmeric and cumin, and then add the tomatoes.
• Cook for approximately 3 minutes until it begins to thicken and add your peas and salt to taste, along with 4 cups of water.
• Allow water to boil and then reduce your heat, cover and cook for approximately 2 hours until your peas are done and the sauce is nice and thick.
• After the peas are done, fold in your yogurt (may wish to use a little more or little less to your tastes) and cilantro, and serve.
• This goes well with rice or with chappati/roti.
• Garnish with minced cilantro.

BLACK-EYED PEAS WITH COLLARD GREENS

BLACK-EYED PEAS WITH MUSTARD GREENS AND RICE

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.

BLACK-EYED PEA GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE

Steps:

• First cook the black-eyed peas (no pre-soaking required!) by placing the garlic and oil in a pot and simmer until lightly browned.
• Pour in the water and black-eyed peas, mix well. Add the seasonings.
• Cover the pot and let it cook for about 30-45 minutes, or until the peas are tender but not mushy.
• For the greenbeans, if using canned, just rinse and drain. For fresh/frozen, just steam them to their desired consistency. I like them kinda soft but other people may like them chewier.
• While the peas are in their last 10-15 minutes of cooking time, preheat the oven to 350°F.
• In a 2-qt baking dish, mix the mushroom soup and yogurt together.
• Blend the soy sauce in next.
• When the soy sauce is incorporated in the cream sauce, add the spices.
• Drain any excess water from the black-eyed peas and put them into the baking dish, mixing well.
• Mix the greenbeans in too.
• Top with french-fried onions and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the cream sauce is bubbly.
