How to Prepare Mushroom Lardons With Black-Eyed Peas and Greens [Vegan]

  1. Heat 3 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, often stirring, until they brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and continue to cook until the mushrooms are very deeply and evenly browned, about 10 minutes longer, reducing the heat to medium-low if they begin to darken too quickly. You want them to shrivel and brown. Add the salt, soy sauce, and smoked paprika and stir until the pan is dry. Transfer the mushrooms to a bowl and set them aside.
  2. Place the remaining 3 tablespoons of oil in the pan with the garlic, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until the garlic is fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add the black-eyed peas, and once they start sizzling, add the greens. Stir and shift the greens around using a slotted spoon or tongs, and once they begin to wilt, after 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, return the mushrooms to the pan. Cook, frequently stirring until the greens are tender, 2 to 3 minutes more. Turn off the heat and serve.
  3. The mushrooms with black-eyed peas and greens will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
