Barley & Black-Eyed Pea Salad

Mark Thomas

Servings:six to eight.

I like the flavor and texture of frozen black-eyed peas, but you can also use canned (rinse them well and don’t cook them). Be sure to buy pearled barley, which has been hulled and polished. Barley that isn’t pearled never really softens when cooked.

  • 1/2 cup pearled barley
  • 1-1/2 cups rich vegetable or chicken stock

  • 1 large yellow bell pepper, charred, peeled, and diced
  • 1 cup seeded and diced ripe tomato
  • 3/4 to 1 cup diagonally sliced scallions (white and green parts)
  • 1 cup cooked fresh (or thawed, frozen) corn kernels
  • Green and red leaf lettuce leaves (optional)

For the vinaigrette:

  • 1/4 cup fresh lime or lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp. grated lime or lemon zest
  • 1/4 tsp. minced garlic

Preparation

  • In a dry saucepan, lightly toast the barley over moderate heat until fragrant, about 5 minutes, stirring to prevent burning. Add the stock, bring to a boil, reduce the heat, cover, and simmer gently until the liquid is absorbed and the barley is tender, about 40 minutes. Remove from the heat and let stand, partially uncovered, until cooled to room temperature before stirring.
  • 与此同时,在腌沸腾煮豌豆water until just tender but not mushy, about 15 minutes. Drain, cool, and set aside. (If using canned peas, don’t cook them, just rinse them well.) Meanwhile, cook the peas in lightly salted boiling water until just tender but not mushy, about 15 minutes. Drain, cool, and set aside. (If using canned peas, don’t cook them, just rinse them well.)

To make the vinaigrette:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the lime (or lemon) juice, zest, garlic, cumin, cilantro, oil, and honey; add salt and pepper to taste. In a large glass bowl, layer the barley, peas, roasted pepper, tomato, scallions, and corn. Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad and toss before serving. If you like, arrange greens on serving plates and top with the salad.

    I made this using freshly prepared black-eyed peas. It is a fantastic recipe though I found the vinaigrette to be much too lemony. I added a bunch of things I had on hand to tone it down. I also did not add cilantro as we are not fans of that flavor. Overall, it was excellent and I will make it again during the summer.

    This is an unusual salad with great crowd appeal. It is a hit every time I serve it.
