Is Soaking Dried Beans Overnight Really Necessary?

Prep Time: 10 min (+8 hours for soaking) | Cook Time: 2 hours 10 min | Total Time: 2 hours 20 min | Servings: 2

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 cup organic black-eyed peas, cooked
• 2 cup purple cabbage, chopped
• 3 cups kale, chopped
• 2 tbsp oil
• 1/2 of shallot, chopped
• 1 tsp garlic, minced
• 1/2 tsp sea salt
• 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
• 1 cup carrot, shredded
• 1/2 cup quinoa, cooked (optional)
• Lemon juice

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Start by soaking 1 cup of peas in a pot filled with water. Let them soak for at least 6 hours or overnight.
2. After soaking, rinse the peas and refill the pot with water. Add a dash of salt and simmer the peas for about 2 hours on medium heat.
3. While the peas are simmering, rinse your chopped kale and cabbage.
4. In a medium pan, heat 1 tbsp of oil, then add shallots, garlic, and cabbage. Sauté for 1-2 min over medium heat.
5. Next, add in the kale, another tablespoon of oil, and a pinch of sea salt. Cover and let it cook for 3 to 4 min on medium heat until the greens wilt.
6. Remove the pan from heat and transfer all the cooked ingredients into a large bowl.
7. To this bowl, add shredded carrots, cooked quinoa (if using), cooked black-eyed peas, and a splash of lemon juice. Mix everything well.
8. Season with more salt/pepper if desired. Enjoy!
