“Serve this salad at room temperature as a first course
with slices of smoked ham and cheese and crusty bread.”
Wine Recommendation: A fresh, fruity Portuguese white, such as a Vinho
Verde with mineral notes, is a bright contrast to the earthy salad. Try the
1999 Provam Alvarinho Portal do Fidalgo. Or go for an Albariño from
Spain's Rias Baixas region, such as the 1999 Morgadío.
Servings: 8
2 1/2 cups dried black-eyed peas (1 pound),
soaked overnight and drained
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 large onion, finely chopped
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
Make Ahead
The salad can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
Add the parsley just before serving.
1. In a large saucepan, cover the black-eyed peas with 2 inches of
water. Bring
to a boil, cover partially and cook over moderately
low heat until
tender,
about 20 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
2. In a large bowl, whisk the olive oil with the lemon juice and garlic.
Add the peas and onion and season with salt and pepper, then toss
to
coat. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours to let the flavors blend.
Bring the
salad to room temperature, stir in parsley and serve.
