Black Eyed Peas With Collard Greens And Turnips Recipes

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.

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven, heat oil over medium heat. Add garlic; cook and stir 1 minute. Add collard greens, salt and cayenne; cook and stir 6-8 minutes or until greens are tender. Add peas, tomatoes and lemon juice; heat through. Sprinkle servings with cheese.

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.

Steps:

• Place black-eyed peas into a large container and cover with several inches of cool water; let stand 8 hours to overnight. Drain and rinse.
• In a large pot, cover black-eyed peas with fresh water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low; cover and simmer until peas are tender, 40 to 60 minutes. Drain.
• Heat soy margarine in a skillet over medium heat. Add turnip and collard greens; cook for 2 minutes.
• Stir black-eyed peas, garlic, and tomatoes into collard mixture; cook and stir until collards are tender, about 5 minutes.
• Season with balsamic vinaigrette and olive oil.

Steps:

• Remove the green tops from the turnips, and cut the turnips into quarters or sixths depending on size. Separate leaves from stems and discard stems; wash leaves.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a 3- to 4-quart shallow stovetop braiser over medium heat. Sweat onion in butter for 1 minute, until translucent. Add turnips and sweat 2 minutes, until glossy and starting to "shine."
• Run a knife through the leaves once, maybe twice, and add to the pot. Season with a healthy pinch of salt and stir until leaves are also starting to sweat and wilt.
• Add peas and 1 cup of water. Season with two large pinches of salt (restaurant-chef pinches, not home-cook pinches). Cover. Reduce heat. Simmer for approximately 10 minutes.
• Stir. Add 1 cup water. Add pinch salt. Re-cover. Simmer for 10 more minutes.
• Stir. Simmer for 10 to 15 more minutes, or until beans are cooked and soft and starchy inside, turnips are cooked and water has turned grayish purple. Taste for salt and season. Let cool completely on stovetop with heat off.
• Cover and refrigerate overnight to allow everything to meld and settle. Serve the next day, reheated over low until tepid, stirring in remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to melt gently into the broth. Finish with a shower of fresh mint and ground black pepper.

Steps:

• Remove coarse stems from greens and discard. Wash and spin dry, then cross cut into 1" square pieces.
• Drop greens into a pot of boiling, lightly salted water. Cook uncovered 5-10 minutes, or until just tender. Timing will depend on the age and size of the greens. Very young greens will need only 1 or 2 minutes. Drain thoroughly.
• Meanwhile, in a large non-aluminum skillet, melt butter and oil over medium heat. Add onion, stirring frequently, 5 minutes or until softened and slightly browned. Add black-eyed peas and drained greens. Toss to coat.
• In a small bowl, combine sour cream, mustard (or horseradish if using), and cayenne pepper with a whisk or fork. Add to peas and greens and cook, stirring frequently, 3-5 minutes or until liquid has almost evaporated. Season with salt and pepper and serve warm. Have a little more sour cream/mustard (or horseradish) to serve on the side.

Steps:

• Set a 6-quart or larger Instant Pot to sauté. Once hot, add the oil, onions, garlic and crushed red pepper flakes. Cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the ham hocks and sauté for another minute. Turn off the machine and stir in the black eyed peas, collard greens, salt, pepper, chicken stock, bay leaves, thyme, and liquid smoke.
• Lock the lid in place, making sure the valve is set to seal, and pressure cook on high for 25 minutes. Allow the machine to natural release for 10 minutes before manually releasing any residual steam.
• Carefully open the lid and stir in the vinegar and hot sauce. Give it a taste and adjust seasoning accordingly. Discard the ham hock bones and serve immediately.
