Recipe 76- Black Eyed Peas Salad (mavromatika fasolia)

Hi there.
I think that except from my greek friends, no one else knows mavromatika fasolia..
You can find them at the grocery shops net to lentils and other kind of peas. They make a nice and very nutritious salad.

Ingredients

250 gr black eyed peas
1 tomato chopped
1 fresh onion chopped
1 tablespoon vinegar
3 tablespoons olive oil
5 black olives (kalamata olives are awesome!)
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon oregano
1/2 cup fresh parsley chopped
salt/pepper to taste

In a pot bring some water to boil and add the peas. Cook for 5 min then drain them.
Boil some water again (about 4-5 cups) and put back in the peas. Allow to cook at low temperature for 2 hours (or until tender).
Drain them and put them in a large bowl. Mix in all the other ingredients.

Enjoy!
