Prosperity. Luck. We all could use a bit more in the New Year and black-eyed peas signify all of it. Ham or bacon supposedly adds ‘positive motion forward’ since the pig is a front footed animal, but leaving it out and adding a dash of smoked paprika is tasty (and dare I say: lucky!) as well. Dry black-eyed peas take about 20-30 minutes to cook, but if a can of beans is easier for you— go for it.
Sweet, tangy with a touch of bite from the fresh ginger. Blackberries settle nicely into this sauce, but other berries may work as well… raspberries, cranberries, fresh currants. Just adjust the sweetness to taste. Use it as a marinade or serve drizzled on chicken, steak or bison.
Cook quinoa up in a bath of water and orange juice to give a tangy, citrus undertone. When done, toss in segments of oranges for even more delight. While blood oranges add a unique flavor, most any other orange will work too if you cannot find this rosy variety.
This is a great winter replacement for a Raspberry Vinaigrette. If you do not have blood oranges handy, use regular orange juice instead.
Give your typical pancake syrup an antioxidant rich topping. If you have huckleberries (I’m jealous!) or other wild berries, they will work just as well. Whatever you can find fresh is best, but frozen will work in a pinch.
