BLACK-EYED PEAS WITH COLLARD GREENS

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.

SAUTEED COLLARD GREENS AND BLACK-EYED PEAS WITH DIJON MUSTARD

Steps:

• Remove coarse stems from greens and discard. Wash and spin dry, then cross cut into 1" square pieces.
• Drop greens into a pot of boiling, lightly salted water. Cook uncovered 5-10 minutes, or until just tender. Timing will depend on the age and size of the greens. Very young greens will need only 1 or 2 minutes. Drain thoroughly.
• Meanwhile, in a large non-aluminum skillet, melt butter and oil over medium heat. Add onion, stirring frequently, 5 minutes or until softened and slightly browned. Add black-eyed peas and drained greens. Toss to coat.
• In a small bowl, combine sour cream, mustard (or horseradish if using), and cayenne pepper with a whisk or fork. Add to peas and greens and cook, stirring frequently, 3-5 minutes or until liquid has almost evaporated. Season with salt and pepper and serve warm. Have a little more sour cream/mustard (or horseradish) to serve on the side.
