Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup dried black-eyed peas or 1 (14-ounce) can black-eyed peas
1/2 onion stuck with 2 cloves (for dried peas only)
1 dried bay leaf (for dried peas only)
1 red bell pepper, stemmed, seeded, and diced
4 scallions, finely sliced
Jalapeno Dressing
1 small celery root, peeled and thinly sliced
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Pinch of coarse salt
Canola or peanut oil, for frying
1 pint (about 24) shucked oysters
1 cup Cornmeal Coating
10 ounces fresh spinach, cleaned and thinly sliced

Steps:

  • If using dried peas, place them in a medium bowl and cover with water; let soak overnight. Drain peas, rinse, and transfer to a small saucepan with about 3 cups water, the onion, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil over high heat, immediately reduce heat to a simmer, and cook until peas are tender but not mushy, about 30 minutes. Drain and rinse. If using canned peas, drain and rinse.
  • Add peas to a small bowl, along with bell pepper and scallions, and mix together with 1/2 cup jalapeno dressing; let stand at least 5 minutes or up to 30 minutes at room temperature or up to 4 hours refrigerated.
  • Place celery root, lemon juice, salt, and enough water just to cover in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, drain, and set aside to cool.
  • Fill a medium saucepan or deep skillet 2 inches high with oil. Heat oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350 degrees on a deep-fry thermometer. Transfer oysters to a colander and rinse, checking for shells; pat dry. Dredge oysters in cornmeal coating and transfer to a plate. When oil is hot, add oysters to oil, working in batches, and fry until golden and crisp, about 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer oysters to a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Repeat process with remaining oysters.
  • To serve, toss celery root and spinach together in a medium bowl; divide evenly among 4 plates; spoon black-eyes peas around salad and top with fried oysters. Drizzle with any remaining jalapeno dressing; serve immediately.

CORNMEAL-CRUSTED OYSTER AND BLACK-EYED PEA SALAD WITH JALAPEñO DRESSING



Cornmeal-crusted Oyster and Black-eyed Pea Salad with Jalapeño Dressing image

This is another dish that Ashley taught me. It's too good not to share. Cornmeal-coated oysters are crisp-fried and placed atop a salad of black-eyed peas, scallions, and red peppers. A chiffonade of spinach and celery root adds additional flavor and crunch (but it's the killer sweet, hot Jalapeño Dressing that steals the show). Feel free to add a few more handfuls of greens to make this a more substantial salad. This is a great lunch salad with a fat wedge of corn bread and a cold beer.

Yield makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 30

1 cup cornmeal
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
2 teaspoons minced fresh parsley
1 (14-ounce) can black-eyed peas, drained and rinsed, or 1 cup dried, cooked as directed below
1/2 onion stuck with 2 cloves, optional
Bay leaf, optional
1 red bell pepper, stemmed, seeded, and diced
4 scallions, finely sliced
Jalapeño Dressing
1 small celery root
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Pinch of salt
Canola or peanut oil, for frying
1 pint (about 24) shucked oysters
1 cup Cornmeal Coating
10 ounces fresh spinach, cleaned and sliced into a chiffonade
5 garlic cloves
1 heaping tablespoon chopped pickled jalapeños, plus 1 or 2 whole pickled jalapeños, minced
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon hot sauce
1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup olive oil
1 shallot, finely minced
(makes about 1 cup)

Steps:

  • Mix all the ingredients in a small bowl or pie pan. Adjust the seasoning to your own taste, adding more cayenne or herbs as desired.
  • If using dried peas, place them in a small pot with about 3 cups of water, half an onion stuck with 2 cloves, and a bay leaf. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the peas are tender but not mushy, about 30 minutes. Drain and rinse. If you're using canned peas, drain and rinse. Combine peas with the bell pepper and scallions in a small bowl. Pour 1/2 cup Jalapeño Dressing over this mixture and marinate for at least 5 minutes (or up to 30) at room temperature, or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
  • Use a chef's knife to trim away the rough skin and slice the celery root into fine julienne strips. Place a small saucepan with the celery root, lemon juice, salt, and water to cover over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, drain, and set aside to cool. Meanwhile, prepare the Cornmeal Coating.
  • Heat 2 inches of frying oil in a medium saucepan or deep skillet over medium-high heat. Pour the shucked oysters into a colander and rinse, checking for shells. Pat them dry with paper towels. Dredge the oysters in the coating and place on a plate. When the oil is hot (about 350°F), fry the oysters (in batches to avoid overcrowding) until golden and crisp, about 2 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil; drain on paper towels.
  • To serve, toss the celery root and spinach and place in a small mound on the center of each plate. Spoon black-eyed peas around the salad, and top with the fried oysters. Drizzle plate with any leftover dressing.
  • Combine the garlic, 1 tablespoon jalapeños, and mustard in a blender or food processor and pulse to puree. Add the salt, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, sugar, and vinegar and puree until smooth. With the blender running, add the olive oil in a slow, steady stream. Transfer the mixture to a small bowl and stir in the minced shallot and remaining jalapeños.
