Black-eyed Pea Salad

Pulses are known as the food of the people from ancient times. The proteins they contain may be substituted to some extent the animal proteins, necessary for human nutrition. They are rich sources of complex carbohydrates, fiber, vitamins, minerals, and trace elements, forming an integral part of the Mediterranean diet.
The Black-eyed beans and lentils contain large amounts of iron.
The black-eyed salad is very easy and quick to make, since they do not need to be soaked for many hours like other legumes. Season with aromatic herbs and spring onion, garnish with black olives, Capers & roasted pepper and thus enjoy a very satisfying dish rich in flavor and nutritional value.
Try them!

Excerpt from the introduction:
«Αναρωτιέμαι συχνά που είναι το απόγειο της μαγειρικής. Είναι τα πιο φρέσκα υλικά, οι πιο πολύπλοκες γεύσεις είναι το καθημερινό ή το σπάνιο; Δεν είναι τίποτε απ΄όλα αυτά. Το απόγειο δεν είναι ούτε η κατανάλωση του φαγητού ούτε το μαγείρεμα, αλλά η προσφορά του φαγητού και η συντροφικότητα…»
