Black-Eyed Peas with Kale and Lemon
Notes
Serves 4
Recipe from Three Sisters Around the Greek Table
the onion and a pinch of salt and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes. Add all of the kale to the pot a handful at a time. It will begin to wilt and
the volume will reduce significantly. Drop the chili peppers into the pot
and pour at least 2 cups of water, so that the kale is almost submerged.
Cook over medium-low heat, partially covered, for 20 minutes or until the
kale is cooked through. The kale should retain its lovely green colour and
still be a bit crunchy. Add the peas, salt and continue cooking for 5
minutes until warmed through. Remove pot from the heat. You may use a slotted spoon to remove the kale and peas and serve as a
side dish or you can serve it as a hearty meal and eat it with a piece of
crunchy bread. If desired, drizzle olive oil in the pot or into each individual
bowl. Add the lemon juice and pepper to taste immediately before serving.
Serve warm.
