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.
-
3
Cover the pot with a lid and cook until flavors blend, about 10 minutes.

Grilled Asparagus
Grilled asparagus is simple to make, but it lets you enjoy the natural flavor of this delicious veggie. Fresh asparagus spears are coated with a bit of oil, salt, and pepper and cooked quickly over high heat on the grill. That's it!
Delicious Chocolate Cornflake Cakes
For all the gorgeous chocolate cakes around (and there are many), I still have a soft spot for these crunchy, chewy little cakes. I include them partly because when looking for a recipe for them recently, I found it surprisingly difficult to find one. Oh come on, don't tell me you don't like them - so get COOKING!!!
Manduguk
This manduguk has a light beef flavor. It's just rich enough to make your lips a little sticky and you'll pick up on a subtle sweetness from the onions at the end. The fish sauce and sea salt impart umami in the soup, but it shouldn't overwhelm the beef broth or the other ingredients. All the add-ins, particularly the shredded beef, sesame oil, and nori, add savoriness without dominating each other for flavor. Serve with kimchi or steamed rice.
