Slow Cooker Black Eyed Peas And Collard Greens Recipes

SLOW COOKER BLACK EYED PEAS AND COLLARD GREENS

Steps:

• To make this Slow Cooker Black Eyed Peas and Collard Greens recipe, start by pouring your black eyed peas into a large strainer and running them under cold water. Take care to remove any broken or discolored beans and any lumps of dirt or foreign material mixed in with your beans. Once cleaned, set aside.
• Add your leftover ham bone to your slow cooker and then add in the onion, minced garlic, chicken stock, spices, vinegar and tomato sauce. Stir lightly to combine before adding in the black eyed peas and chopped collard greens. Cover and cook on High for 2 hours before stiring in the wild rice. Return the cover and continue cooking on Low for 4 hours.
• At that point, carefully (it's HOT!) remove the ham bone and cut away any meat still clinging to the bone. Return the meat to the slow cooker and give it all a quick stir. Cook on Low for another 30 minutes to 1 hour. Once done, use a spoon to skim any ham grease from the top of the soup and serve up with an extra sprinkle of cayenne or a shot of hot sauce and some corn bread or good crusty bread.

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.
