Braised Kale with Black-Eyed Peas - 45.1g Carbs, 14.2g Fiber, 3.9g Sugar

From: September 2012, Prevention
Prep Time: 10 Min
Total Time: 45 min
Servings: 4

1 Tbsp olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped (about 1 cup)
1 large carrot, chopped (about 3/4 cup)
1/4 cup tomato paste
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1/4 tsp red-pepper flakes
1 Tbsp yellow or white miso paste
1 Tbsp reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 lbs kale (about 3 bunches), thick stems trimmed, chopped
1 1/2 cup frozen black-eyed peas
Zest of 1/2 lemon (about 1 tsp)
Juice of 1/2 lemon (1 Tbsp plus 2 tsp)

HEAT the oil in a large pot or Dutch oven on medium heat. Add the onion
and carrot and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and lightly browned,
about 10 minutes. Add the tomato paste, garlic, and pepper flakes and cook,
stirring, about 1 minute. Add the miso, soy sauce, and 1 1/2 cups water and
bring to a simmer. Add the kale, reduce the heat to medium low, cover,
stirring once or twice, and simmer until the kale is just tender, about
10 minutes.

ADD the peas and simmer, uncovered, until the kale is very tender and the
black eyed peas are heated through, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the lemon zest
and juice. Season to taste with freshly ground black pepper and serve.
