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.

Maharani Cupcakes
Named for a queen in India, these coconut cupcakes with curry lemon curd and a sweet basil cream topping will wow your friends and family. They have sweet but surprising flavors and a stunning presentation. The cupcakes take time to create, but the final product is worth it! The lemon curd and basil cream need time to chill, so they can be made the night before.
Spicy Chinese Chicken Wings
These easy, spicy chicken wings are an excellent alternative to regular hot wings! I learned this recipe from my mother, who is from Taiwan, and it was always a childhood favorite! Almost all seasonings can be adjusted according to taste. (The Vietnamese chili garlic sauce can be found at any oriental grocery or even most regular groceries).
Coriander- and Cumin-Rubbed Pork Chops
Pork chops rubbed with cumin and garlic — simple but flavorful. For an even more potent result, toast and grind the spices yourself.
