Ingredients

1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 large leek, halved and thinly sliced
1 celery stalk, halved and finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2-3 tsp finely chopped red chile
1 bunch Swiss chard, leaves chopped, stems finely chopped
1 cup strained tomatoes
2 (15.5-oz) cans black-eyed peas, drained and rinsed
2 cups vegetable stock
0.5 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tsp grated lemon zest
2 tsp lemon juice

Instructions

For the black-eyed peas: Heat the olive oil in a large pan with a lid over medium heat. Add the leek and celery and cook until softened, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and chile and cook for 1 minute, then add 1 cup of the finely chopped chard stems, saving the rest for your next stir-fry or soup. Stir and cook for 4 minutes, until the stems are tender. Add the chard leaves, stir, and cook for 2 minutes, until they begin to wilt. Add the strained tomatoes and stir to coat.
Add the black-eyed peas and stock and stir well until combined. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook, covered, for 15 minutes. Remove the lid and continue cooking for 5 minutes, until slightly thickened.
For the gremolata: In a small bowl, stir all the ingredients together.
Serve the stewed peas in bowls topped with the gremolata. If you're feeling extra hungry, add a scoop of cooked quinoa or brown rice.
