Collard Greens And Black Eyed Peas 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:

• Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add black-eyed peas and boil for 1 minute. Drain.
• Bring 3 cups water to a boil in the same pot and stir in ham seasoning. Add peas and simmer until tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
• Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and saute until soft, about 30 seconds. Add collard greens and cayenne; cover and cook until greens are soft, about 10 minutes. Add cooked black-eyed peas and heat through, about 5 minutes. Season with salt before serving.

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.
