Here are some spins on traditional recipes from some of the leading Black chefs and bloggers in the country.
Crockpot Gumbo
By Christina Heggins
Directions: Put all chopped ingredients except for shrimp into slow cooker.
Mix just until incorporated.
Place on high heat for 3-3.5 hours.
Add shrimp and turn to low heat for 5 minutes or until shrimp just turn pink.
Salt and pepper to taste. Serve with rice or quinoa.
Southern Fried Cabbage
Direction: Toss the bacon into a large pot or pan, then place over medium heat. Cook the bacon until it's browned, and most of the fat is rendered.
Remove the bacon pieces from the pan/pot, then set to the side.
Toss in the cabbage, peppers, and onions.
NOTE: EVERYTHING WILL NOT FIT INTO THE POT AT FIRST. ONCE IT COOKS, IT WILL SHRINK!
Once the cabbage and other ingredients start to get tender( about 10 minutes) sprinkle in the salt, black pepper, garlic & onion powder and red pepper flakes.
Cook for another 5 minutes or so, then toss in the bacon.
Stir the ingredients, then add everything into your serving dish. Serve and enjoy!
