Vegetarian Hoppin' John

Prep Time:30 minutes Cook Time: 45 minutes Servings: 4 minutes

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 ½ cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup long grain rice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 (15 ounce) cans black-eyed peas, rinsed and drained
  • ½ teaspoon cajun seasoning
Directions:
  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.
