Both of my daughters are vegetarians. I developed this simple vegetarian Hoppin' John recipe for them. It can be used as a base for additional ingredients according to personal preference. This recipe was submitted to the Harvard College Dining Services and was selected as a vegetarian option for the student dining halls.
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup long grain rice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion , chopped
- 2 cans black-eyed peas , 15 ounce
- 0.5 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
Instructions
-
1
Bring broth and rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
-
2
Heat olive oil in a pot over medium-high heat. Sauté onion in hot oil until translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir cooked rice, black-eyed peas, and Cajun seasoning into onion.
-

Cover the pot with a lid and cook until flavors blend, about 10 minutes.

Coconut Bread II
I got this recipe from my mother-in-law. Even people who don't like coconut love this sweet, yummy bread.
Chef John's Truffled Potato Gratin
I used a mix of brown and lobster mushrooms, which worked very nicely, but this Chef John's truffled potato gratin recipe will be spectacular with any mushroom. If you can find some wild mushrooms like morel, chanterelle, porcini, or lobster, use them. But if you can't, use regular supermarket mushrooms and you will still be rewarded with a very memorable potato side dish.
Uncle D's Sweet Piccalilli (Green Tomato Relish)
Not sure what to do with the last of those green tomatoes from your garden? This green tomato piccalilli recipe will use 'em up, and the result is a tasty relish that is flavorful and can be used in place of sweet pickle relish. It can also be used as a side chutney for pork chops or sausage. Makes a great fall or harvest gift for friends and neighbors, too.
