BLACK-EYED PEAS WITH GARLIC AND KALE



Black-eyed Peas with Garlic and Kale image

This is the recipe I always make for New Year's Day. So many black-eyed pea recipes include ham, which you could add to this one, but we don't miss the meat because of the robust flavors of the kale, garlic and vinegar. This is one of the recipes you don't have to worry about measuring too much. Sometimes, I'll use more kale and fewer beans, if I'm serving this along with a meat main dish. In fact, I'll leave the black-eyed peas out entirely, if I want a light side dish.

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 lbs kale, washed and drained
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh garlic (or more to taste)
1/2 small sweet onion (this is optional and you may prefer to use more. I use vidalias or texas sweets)

Steps:

  • Pull the kale leaves from the tough stems.
  • Discard the stems and tear or chop the leaves into small (1 inch pieces).
  • In a large pot, boil about 2 inches of water, then add the kale.
  • Cover and cook until the leaves are tender, stirring occasionally (about 15-20 minutes).
  • Drain (reserve the stock for soup, if desired).
  • In a large skillet, combine the oil and onion.
  • Saute until onion is clear.
  • Add the garlic.
  • Cook the onion and garlic over low heat, stirring, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the black-eyed peas and red pepper and cook until blended, stirring (about 3 minutes).
  • Add the kale and stir to blend over low heat.
  • Add the vinegar just before serving.

2 1/2 cups finely shredded kale leaves
3 1/2 ounces snow peas, trimmed and finely chopped
2 tablespoons finely chopped water chestnuts
1/2 cup cilantro leaves, chopped
2 tablespoons chopped garlic chives
1 teaspoon finely grated ginger
1 tablespoon mirin (Japanese rice wine)
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/3 pound ground pork
Sea salt and cracked black pepper
30 wonton wrappers
Scallions, thinly sliced, to serve
Chili sauce and Chinese black vinegar, to serve

Steps:

  • Place the kale, snow pea, water chestnut, cilantro, chive, ginger, mirin, oil, pork, salt, and pepper in a large bowl and mix well to combine. Place the wrappers on a clean work surface and brush the edges with water. Place 1 teaspoon of the kale mixture in the center of each wrapper. Fold the edges of the wrappers over and press together to seal. Place a steamer lined with non-stick baking paper over a saucepan of simmering water. Steam the dumplings, in batches, for 10-12 minutes or until cooked through. Top with the onion and serve with chili sauce and black vinegar.
