The black-eyed peas I made for New Year’s day were a disaster. I should have saved myself the trouble and headed straight for South of Beale and ordered the gnocchi ($12), a new addition to the restaurant’s winter menu.
These nice, seared gnocchi sit upon a bed of sauteed chard, butternut squash, and black-eyed peas. The chard is sauteed in butter and is rich, so the sweet of the squash adds a good contrast, while the earthiness of the peas brings everything into balance.
