Ingredients
-
8 ounces dried black-eyed peas (about 1 ⅓ cups), soaked overnight
-
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
-
4 large shallots, thinly sliced
-
Pinch of salt plus ½ teaspoon, divided
-
2 small bunches collard greens (about 1 ¼ pounds total), stemmed and torn into bite-size pieces
-
2 tablespoons minced chipotle chiles in adobo sauce
-
2 tablespoons lime juice
-
Steamed brown rice (optional)
Directions
-
Drain the soaked peas and rinse. Place in a large pot and add enough water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil over high heat. Adjust heat to maintain a gentle simmer, cover and cook until tender, 30 to 45 minutes. (Alternatively, cook peas in a pressure cooker or slow cooker.) Reserve 1 1/2 cups of the cooking liquid and drain the peas.
-
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 information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.
* 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.)
