In recognition of Juneteenth I cooked up a few things for dinner: Charleston Red Rice, (Instant Pot) Collard Greens, and Black Eyed Pea salad. Everything was so delicious!

Vegan Black Eyed Pea Salad

Hi Beehaw! Last week, I made an authentic gumbo with a painstaking dark roux and ate it while watching The Princess and the Frog with my girlfriend. I quite enjoyed cooking a meal that matched the movie and wanted to do a themed dinner again for our next movie, Encanto!

I haven't seen Encanto yet but I'm vaguely aware it's Colombian. Does anyone have suggestions for popular Colombian dishes? I am a hobbyist cook so long and intricate recipes aren't a turn off. I live in Southern California so I have lots of access to Mexican and international markets.

Thanks and looking forward to your suggestions!

First post and I'm excited for this community! I want to share one of my very favorite things, Salsa! 😁

Salsa 1 is a tomatillo salsa with mulatto pepper. salsa 2 is a tomato salsa with Chipotle and guajillos peppers.

I constantly make variations based on what I feel like trying, inspired by, or craving!

Hope other people will share their favorites!
