Ingredients
- 250 grams (8.8 ounces) dried black-eyed peas
- 100 grams (3.5 ounces) smoked mackerel fillets
- 200 grams (1 medium) cucumber peeled and diced
- 200 grams (1 large) tomato finely chopped/ diced
- 2 medium spring onions minced
- 1½ teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill minced
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Cook the Black-eyed Peas. Rinse with cold water, then add to a cooking pot with plenty of water and bring to a boil. Boil for 2 minutes, then drain. Add to the cooking pot again with plenty of hot water and some sea salt, and bring to a simmer. Simmer covered over low heat until tender but not mushy.
- Drain and cool the peas. Drain peas in a strainer and allow to cool down to room temperature. Don't rinse with cold water as this will make their skin peel off.
- Make the salad. Add the cooled black eyed peas to a large salad bowl and combine with the remaining ingredients. Shred the smoked mackerel fillets into pieces and mix them in the salad.
- Marinate in the fridge for about 1 hour.
- Serve with some crusty bread and enjoy!
