Vegan Black Eyed Peas and Collards
Ingredients
For the balsamic onions
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium red onion sliced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
For the beans and greens
- 6 cups chopped collard greens stems removed. You can use kale or turnip greens instead, if you prefer.
- 1 large tomato diced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 15 ounce can black eyed peas drained and rinsed
- salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
Make the balsamic onions.
- In a large pan, heat the oil on medium-high heat. Add the onions, garlic, and salt, and cook until the onions start to turn golden, about 5 to 7 minutes. If the pan gets too dry, add little splashes of water to prevent sticking.
- Sprinkle the vinegar into the pan, and keep cooking for just a minute, until the liquid cooks away.
Make the black eyed peas and collard greens.
- Add the collard greens, tomato, and all of the herbs and spices to the pan with the onions, and cook until the collards cook down and turn bright green.
- Add the balsamic vinegar and black eyed peas and cook, mashing the tomatoes a little bit, until the greens are cooked to your preference. Season to taste with salt and black pepper, and serve with rice or mashed potatoes.
Notes
You can make these ahead and reheat day-of. They keep for around 3 days in the fridge. To reheat, warm them up in a pan on the stove with a splash of water or heat them in the microwave.
If the pan is getting dry when you're cooking the onions, add a little water or another splash of balsamic vinegar.
How long you cook the collards depends on your personal preference. I like them to be tender but not too soft, but if you like them softer, just keep cooking! You may need to add splashes of water, if the pan starts to dry out.
