Best Pompano With Black Eyed Peas And Citrus Salsa Recipes

BLACK-EYED PEA SALSA

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine the first six ingredients. Combine the salad dressing, sour cream and parsley. Add to the pea mixture; toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Serve with tortilla chips.

SOUTHERN-STYLE BLACK-EYED PEAS

Steps:

• Soak black-eyed peas in a bowl of water for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
• Heat oil in a large, heavy saucepan over medium heat. Saute onion and garlic in the hot oil until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add smoked ham hocks and water. Bring to a boil. Cover, lower heat to a simmer, and cook for 1 hour.
• Drain peas and add to the pot along with seasoned salt, onion powder, cumin, black pepper, red pepper, and bay leaves. Bring to a boil. Cover, lower heat to a simmer, and cook for 1 hour. Uncover the pot and cook until beans are tender, about 30 minutes more. Remove bay leaves and ham hocks before serving.

BLACK-EYED PEA SALSA / RELISH

Steps:

• 1. In a large bowl (because this makes a lot!), combine oil, vinegar, mustard, sugar, celery seed, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
• 2. Add celery, green onions, bell pepper, cucumber, jalapeno, and cilantro. Mix into dressing until well covered.
• 3. Add the corn and peas (make sure the cans are drained and rinsed). Mix well.
• 4. Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour, but it tastes better if you let it sit a little longer.
• I will use this as a topping for grilled chicken, or you can eat it like a dip (by serving it with corn-chips). I've even added twisty pasta to it and made it into a pasta salad. Enjoy!

POMPANO WITH BLACK-EYED PEAS AND CITRUS SALSA

Steps:

• To make the salsa, combine the peas and water in a medium-size saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, until the peas are tender, adding more water if needed to keep them covered, about 1 hour. Drain and let cool.
• Place the peas in a bowl and add the onion, grapefruit, oranges, jalapenos and cilantro and toss lightly. Add the lime juice, olive oil, 2 teaspoons salt and pepper and toss. Set aside.
• To make the fish, combine the cornmeal, 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper in a shallow dish. Coat the fillets in the cornmeal. Spray both sides lightly with the olive oil. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add the fillets and cook until just cooked through, about 3 minutes per side.
• While the fish is cooking, cut the avocado in half lengthwise and remove the pit. Cut the flesh lengthwise into thin slices and carefully scoop them out of the skin. Season the fish with salt and pepper to taste. Place 1 fillet on each of 4 plates. Spoon some of the salsa across each fillet. Fan the avocado slices over the salsa and serve immediately.
