Happy New Year everyone! Here is my latest Edible article all about New Year's Day culinary traditions meant to bring one luck and money. Recently I've gotten into the 'all in one pot' concept for southern new year's dishes but I still appreciate all the variations. Click on the images and they will enlarge.
May you be blessed beyond your wildest dreams! Today I am simmering a pot of turkey chili with organic onions, garlic, tomatoes, sweet corn, swiss chard, and black-eyed peas. It's a very simple recipe and portions needn't be exact. Just sautee' some chopped onion and garlic in olive oil until translucent, add in ground turkey (I like Shelton's because it's not dry), add in a large can of diced tomatoes, and chopped stems of swiss chard. Chop the rest of the chard leaves and add about ten minutes later, then some fresh or frozen organic sweet corn and either canned or pre-cooked soupy black-eyed peas. Finish with some chili powder, salt and pepper to taste -- go slowly with it. I then grate a little of the Mississippi State University Edam Cheese Ball I received from Aunt on top and it's bliss! I call this dish Turkey Chili and it has the flavor but not the heaviness of a regular chili and perhaps best of all is you can make it all in one pot!
I wish you health, wealth and happiness,
Enjoy!!
