Peas With Bacon Vinaigrette Recipes

BLACK-EYED PEA AND BACON SALAD WITH MUSTARD VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Quick-soak black-eyed peas. In a saucepan simmer peas in water to cover until tender, about 20 minutes, and drain in a sieve.
• Make vinaigrette:
• In a large bowl whisk together mustard, shallot, garlic, and vinegar and slowly whisk in oil until emulsified.
• Stir warm peas into vinaigrette. Chop bacon and in a 12-inch skillet cook over moderate heat, stirring, until crisp. With a slotted spoon transfer bacon to paper towels to drain and cool slightly. Quarter tomatoes, discarding seeds, and cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Add bacon and tomatoes to pea mixture.
• Cut scallions and celery crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Cut enough romaine crosswise into 1/4-inch-wide strips to measure 4 cups and trim arugula. Add scallions, celery, romaine, arugula, parsley, and salt and pepper to taste to pea mixture and gently toss until combined well.

PEAS AND BACON

Steps:

• Cook the bacon in a large saute pan over medium-low heat until the fat is rendered and the bacon is crispy, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and shallots and sweat for 1 minute. Add the peas and increase the heat to medium. Pour in the orange juice and cook until the peas are tender, about 2 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and fold in the orange zest, parsley and butter. Taste for seasoning and add salt if necessary, though you shouldn't need much because the bacon adds a natural saltiness to the dish.
