Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Black-Eyed Peas

    If using dried black-eyed peas, soak them overnight and then boil them in salted water until tender. If using canned, rinse and drain them.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Broccolini

    In a pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the broccolini and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until tender. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Cook the Scallops

    In the same pan, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Season the scallops with salt and pepper. Sear them for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.

  4. 4

    Make the Country Ham Vinaigrette

    In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining olive oil, vinegar, and chopped country ham. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.

  5. 5

    Plate the Dish

    On a plate, arrange the black-eyed peas, top with scallops, sautéed broccolini, and drizzle with the country ham vinaigrette. Finish with a sprinkle of cornbread crumbs on top.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Enjoy your scallops with black-eyed peas, broccolini, and red pikliz on the side.
