SMOKY VEGETARIAN BLACK-EYED PEAS WITH COLLARD GREENS



Smoky Vegetarian Black-Eyed Peas with Collard Greens image

I devised this recipe after a New Year's Day at a friend's house. She ate black-eyed peas for the good luck, not because she liked them! I challenged myself to come up with something not only edible, but delicious and nutritious as well! It's also deceptively simple (especially if you sub canned black-eyed peas for dried). I hope you like the results! This is delicious as-is or served over brown rice.

SOUTHERN BLACK-EYED PEAS (VEGETARIAN)



Southern Black-Eyed Peas (Vegetarian) image

I can't remember where the original for this recipe came from; the original called for a ham hock. As with most stews, its better to refrigerate overnite before serving, but who wants to do that? To compensate for the lack of hog jowl I usually add quite a bit more thyme. Usually at least a second teaspoon towards the end of cooking the peas. Adding a jalapeño when cooking the vegetable can add some kick.

16 ounces black-eyed peas
4 -6 cups vegetable stock or 4 -6 cups water
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 cups chopped onions
1 carrot, peeled and diced
4 garlic cloves, smashed and minced
1/2 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 teaspoon dried leaf thyme
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano leaves

Steps:

  • Rinse peas and pick over for bad or discolored peas and small stones; transfer to a medium saucepan. Cover with stock or water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and continue cooking for 5 minutes; set aside.
  • In a large stock pot heat vegetable oil over low heat. Add the onion, diced carrot, and garlic. Cook, stirring, until tender, about 6 to 8 minutes.

Uncover and cook for 30 to 45 minutes longer, or until peas are tender - the longer you cook them, the better they will be. Add more wateror stock as needed to keep them moist.
  • Serve with olive oil, Tobasco, hot baked cornbread and a tossed salad or steamed collards.

VEGETARIAN BLACK-EYED PEAS & RICE



Vegetarian Black-Eyed Peas & Rice image

From The Black Family Reunion cookbook. While growing up, my grandmother, rhoda Weekes, was known among family and friends as the master of black-eyed peas and rice. You may think I'm exaggerating, but I can remember folks coming from throughout the tri-state area if they heard Mother was "cookin' up a pot." I'd watch her throw a bit of this and a dash of that into the kettle. It still warms my spirit to remember her creating her magical dish, while I kept her company in her big, beautiful kitchen. I'm no longer a meat-eater, so the following is my vegetarian version of Rhoda Weekes' black-eyed peas and rice.-Susan L. Taylor, Editor-in-Chief, Essence Magazine
