Name: Black-Eyed Peas With Chard and Green Herb Smash
Ingredients: 1 leek; 1 tablespoon coconut oil or olive oil; 2 cloves garlic; A good pinch of chile powder or chopped dried chile; 1 (14-ounce/400-g) can black-eyed peas; 1 teaspoon vegetable stock powder or 1/2 stock cube; A good grating of nutmeg; 1/2 unwaxed lemon; 7 ounces/200 g bunch Swiss or rainbow chard; Sea salt and freshly ground pepper; A large bunch of cilantro; 2 green chiles; 1 ounce/30 g shelled walnuts; 1 tablespoon runny honey or maple syrup; 1 tablespoon good olive oil; Juice of 1/2 a lemon; Rice or flatbreads, to serve (optional)

Instructions

This is a super-quick stew which has its roots in Palestine. Pick your chard color here—the clean green Swiss or the sweet-shop-neon rainbow chard. It is not often that one vegetable provides such a bouquet of options. Sometimes, I like to top this with tahini for an extra layer of flavor.
