Lucky Food in America
There is a Southern saying that dictates eating habits in the Southern United States' New Year's: "Eat poor on New Year's, eat fat the rest of the year." A traditional Southern New Year's meal includes ham, corn bread, black-eyed peas and collard greens. Both peas/beans and large leafy collard greens are considered especially lucky additions to the dinner table. Dried peas/beans are thought to bring wealth because they look like little coins, in addition to the fact that they swell when cooked -- a sure sign of prosperity. Collard greens are considered lucky because they are green, like greenbacks -- money!
Lucky New Year’s Black-Eyed Peas There is no better way to start the New Year than with a bowl full of luck. And, according to tradition, eating a bowl of Lucky New Year’s Black-Eyed Peas (Hoppin' John salad) on New Year's Day will bring you good luck for the coming year. We always have it for New Year's Day while we watch football! Serve with a tossed salad and corn bread."

How to Cook Chickpeas 3 Ways: Stovetop, Slow Cooker & Instant Pot
https://healthynibblesandbits.com/how-to-cook-chickpeas-3-ways/
Yield: About 3 to 4 cups 1x
INGREDIENTS
1 cup dried chickpeas
water
2 cloves garlic, smashed
2 bay leaves
1/2 to 1 tablespoon kosher salt*
INSTRUCTIONS
Soak the chickpeas with water overnight or for at least 8 hours. You want to cover the beans with about 2 inches of water. The chickpeas expand as it soaks, so be sure to use a large enough bowl for soaking. Before cooking the chickpeas, drain the water and rinse the beans.
STOVETOP METHOD: Transfer the soaked chickpeas to a large saucepan or a small pot. Cover the chickpeas with water by 2 inches. Add the garlic, bay leaves, and salt. Bring the water to boil, then reduce the heat slightly and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes for firmer beans, 40 to 50 minutes for softer beans.
SLOW COOKER METHOD: Transfer the soaked beans and cover with 6 cups of water, garlic, bay leaves, and salt to a slow cooker. Cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 8 hours.
INSTANT POT METHOD: Transfer the soaked beans, 4 cups of water, garlic, bay leaves, and salt to an Instant Pot. Set the Instant Pot to manual mode, and cook on high pressure for 12 to 20 minutes, depending on your preference. I liked mine at 12 minutes. Once the cooking time is up, let the pressure naturally release before opening the lid. If you are using unsoaked beans, you will need to cook the chickpeas for at least 35 to 40 minutes. Let the pressure release naturally.
The beans will keep in the refrigerator for 4 to 5 days. You can also freeze chickpeas for a few months.

3 tablespoons unsweetened dried coconut
3 tablespoons boiling water
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon ancho chile powder
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped

1 teaspoon mustard seed
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1-inch piece fresh ginger root, peeled and finely chopped

Orange Upside-Down Cake
https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/orange-upside-down-cake-51264670
YIELD
Makes 1 cake
INGREDIENTS
For the caramel topping:
2 medium oranges
3/4 cup granulated sugar
4 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces, plus more for cake pan
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
For the cake:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs, at room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon grated orange zest
1 cup buttermilk, well shaken
Special equipment:
10-inch round cake pan
PREPARATION
Make the caramel:
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Lightly butter the cake pan. Slice the oranges as thinly as you can (about 1/8 to 1/4-inch thick), preferably using a mandoline and picking out seeds as you go; set aside.
Make sure you have all the ingredients for the caramel ready to go before you begin cooking it. In a medium pot, combine the sugar and 6 tablespoons water and place over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil and cook, swirling the pan occasionally, until the mixture turns a medium-dark amber color, about 10 minutes. Remove pot from heat and carefully stir in the butter and salt until incorporated. Pour the caramel into the buttered cake pan.
Starting in the center of the pan, layer the orange slices on top of the caramel, overlapping a bit and working your way toward the outer edge (you may not need to use all the orange slices). Set pan aside.
Make the cake:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
In a separate large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the butter and sugar until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, and then blend in the vanilla and orange zest.
Add the flour mixture in three parts, alternating with the buttermilk, beating just to combine. Spoon the batter in dollops over the oranges in the cake pan, being careful not to move them around too much. Smooth the top of the batter with a wet offset spatula or the back of a spoon. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through.
With an offset spatula or a butter knife, loosen any parts of the cake that seem to be sticking to the side of the pan. Invert the cake onto a plate or platter while it's still hot. Let cool until warm or room temperature, then cut into wedges with a serrated knife to serve.

Grilled Eggplant with Olive, Orange & Anchovy Vinaigrette
https://www.finecooking.com/recipe/grilled-eggplant-with-olive-orange-anchovy-vinaigrette
Ingredients
For the vinaigrette:
2 anchovy fillets (preferably salt packed), rinsed
1 small clove garlic
Kosher salt
1/4 cup black olives, such as Niçoise or Kalamata, rinsed well, pitted, and chopped finely
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 Tbs. fresh orange juice
2 Tbs. red-wine vinegar; more to taste
1/2 tsp. finely chopped orange zest
Freshly ground black pepper
For the eggplant:
1 large globe eggplant (about 1 lb.), trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch-thick rounds
3 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil; more as needed
Kosher salt
Preparation
Make the vinaigrette:
With a mortar and pestle, pound the anchovy, garlic, and a pinch of salt to a paste, or mince the anchovy and garlic, sprinkle with salt, and mash into a paste with the side of a chef’s knife. Unless you’re using a large mortar, transfer the mixture to a medium bowl. Whisk in the olives, olive oil, orange juice, vinegar, and orange zest. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and more red wine vinegar, if necessary.
Grill the eggplant:
Prepare a medium-high charcoal or gas grill fire. Brush both sides of the eggplant slices with olive oil and season with salt. Grill (covered on a gas grill; uncovered on a charcoal grill) until golden-brown grill marks form, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn the eggplant and grill until tender and well marked on the second sides, 3 to 4 minutes more. The interior should be grayish and soft rather than white and hard.
Just before serving, whisk the vinaigrette again and spoon it over the grilled eggplant—you may not need it all—or serve on the side.
