Ingredients

8ouncesdried black-eyed peas (about 1 ⅓ cups), soaked overnight

¼cupextra-virgin olive oil

4largeshallots, thinly sliced

Pinch of salt plus ½ teaspoon, divided

2smallbunches collard greens (about 1 ¼ pounds total), stemmed and torn into bite-size pieces

2tablespoonsminced chipotle chiles in adobo sauce

2tablespoonslime juice

Steamed brown rice (optional)

Directions

Heat oil in the pot over medium heat. Add shallots and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring frequently, until deeply browned, 10 to 15 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer half the shallots to a paper-towel-lined plate.

Add collards to the pot and toss until bright green and wilted, about 3 minutes. Add the reserved cooking liquid and chipotles. Bring to a boil. Adjust heat to maintain a simmer, cover and simmer for 15 minutes.

Gently stir in the peas. Cover and simmer until the collards are very tender, about 10 minutes more. Stir in lime juice and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Top with the shallots and serve with rice, if desired.

Tips

To make ahead:Refrigerate peas and reserved cooking liquid (Step 1) separately for up to 3 days.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)

  • Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
