Black Eyed Pea Salad

All good Southerners and their friends know that the secret to a prosperous New Year is to eat black eyed peas on New Year’s Day! But, I just don’t make this salad for New Year’s Day. I’m taking this dish to a Christmas party and I’m certain that it will be one of the first things that will go quickly.

Fresh Fava Bean Purée

April 24, 2015

I adore fresh fava beans as they have an extraordinary flavor like no other bean. These early spring beans are small and tender, and are a delicacy in soups, salads, and pastas. Fava beans require a bit of extra effort to shell and peel before cooking, but believe me they are worth it. First they must be stripped from the large green spongy pods, and then each bean needs to be peeled to remove the skin.

Dilled Red Kidney Beans

Kidney beans are full of protein and fiber and make a wonderful base for a side dish. If you don’t have red kidney beans then use whatever beans you do have. I’ll bet this dish would be great with chickpeas.
