Fresh Cowpea Salad
Hello Dear Friends,
When I find fresh and thin black-eyed peas, the first thing that comes to my mind is to make a salad before dinner. But Fresh Black-eyed Peas with Olive Oil I really like the food too. It is such a practical recipe that once you try it, you can't give up. The most important trick is to boil the black-eyed peas so that they do not lose their color.
What is the Shock Boiling Technique?
Shock boiling is this method used especially for vegetables. Vegetables that are cooked by boiling first are then thrown into cold water and cooled quickly. This process makes the colors more vivid and brighter than normal. So they look much more appetizing. The important thing is not to boil it until it turns yellow and to cool it quickly. You can use cold or even ice water.
