Happy New Year! I have a great New Year’s Day recipe for you today. A new twist on a traditional favorite, Hoppin’ John: Vegan Hoppin’ John Burgers or Sliders. Yum!
I kept them simple (mainly for the kids and they’re new anti-”spicy” attitudes), with very little seasoning. But feel free to spice them up with some chipotle mayo or hot sauce. Hoppin’ John is a great dish for New Year’s Day since it’s thought to bring good luck and prosperity: the black-eyed peas symbolize coins while the greens symbolize paper money.
These vegan sliders are a great way to get all the luck without having the same dish each year.
Ingredients
Instructions
Boil fresh black-eyed peas for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, saute onion in coconut oil until browned. Add kale and saute for 2 minutes. Cover and let wilt for 5-7 minutes.
Preheat oven to 425.
Mix oats, milk and water and let sit for 5-10 minutes. Puree peas and mix in oat blend.
Form pea blend into about 10 sliders (or 5 burger patties). Place on a greased cookie sheet.
Bake for 15-20 minutes at 425.
Top patties with kale mixture and serve.

The Results
Very tasty! Definitely a nice change from regular Hoppin’ John. I’d go a little spicier if making it for just myself, but the blander version was loved by the kids. A definite repeat for future New Year’s Days.
