Artichoke And Black Eyed Pea Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Combine the beans, artichoke hearts, hearts of palm, feta cheese, celery and leaves, tomatoes, oil and lemon zest in a large serving bowl. Squeeze on lots of lemon juice to make the salad taste really bright, then sprinkle on about 1/2 teaspoon salt. Toss really well and season with more salt to taste. Sprinkle on the pine nuts.

Steps:

• Place the black-eyed peas, whole crushed garlic cloves, halved onion and bay leaf in a large, heavy saucepan and add enough water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil, add salt to taste, reduce the heat, cover and simmer until tender but intact, about 45 minutes. Remove from the heat, remove the lid and allow the black-eyed peas to cool for 30 minutes. Remove and discard the onion. Remove the garlic cloves, squeeze the cooked garlic out of the skins and back into the black-eyed peas, and drain through a strainer set over a bowl.
• Transfer the black-eyed peas to a large bowl. Whisk together the lemon juice, vinegar, minced garlic, cumin, salt, pepper and olive oil. Toss with the beans. Add the remaining ingredients except the feta and toss together. If you want a bit more liquid with the beans, add back some of the broth (I found the dressing to be sufficient). Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. Sprinkle the feta over the top and serve.

Steps:

• In a saucepan, cover the black-eyed peas with water and bring to a boil. Simmer over low heat until tender, about 45 minutes. Drain.
• Meanwhile, in a skillet, heat the oil. Add the onion, season with salt and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until softened. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, 8 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
• Roast the bell pepper directly over a gas flame or under the broiler, turning, until charred. Let cool. Peel and seed. Cut into 1/4 inch dice.
• In a small saucepan of boiling salted water, cook the diced celery for 30 seconds. Drain and refresh under cold water and drain again.
• Add the mayonnaise and vinegar to the onion. Fold in the black-eyed peas, bell pepper, celery and scallions.
• Season with salt, pepper and Tabasco.
• Chill before serving (although I thought it very nice while still warm).
• Note: Jarred roasted peppers are perfectly fine. If you do not have a sweet onion, chop a regular onion and pour hot water over it. Let it stand ten minutes, then drain. This reduces the "bite".

Reduce the heat and simmer until the peas are tender, about 40 minutes. Drain and remove all but the peas. Place in a large bowl and toss in the vinegars and 1 tablespoon of oil. Let cool.

• To make the tuna, heat the oil in a medium-size nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tuna and saute until seared on both sides but still pink in the center, about 10 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes. Slice thinly across the grain. Season with salt and pepper.
• Shake or stir the tomato oil and drizzle it around the edge of 4 plates. Mound the salad in the center of the plates and lay the tuna over the top. Garnish with parsley and serve.
