New Year’s Day and New Year’s Eve Traditions

Carnival of the Recipes #175

Cooking for New Year’s Day and New Year’s Eve tends to be a random affair punctuated by comfort food and easy to prepare meals to be eaten at parties and in front of the television.

One of the most well-known traditions is that Black-eyed peas are traditionally eaten on New Year’s Day, often with collard greens or mustard greens. The tradition indicates that the eating of black eyed peas will bring good luck and fortune.

South Philly Hamburger

1-1/2 - pounds ground chuck
1 - egg yolk
1/4 - cup grated onion
1 - large clove garlic minced
2 - teaspoons dried crushed basil
1/2 - teaspoon oregano
1/3 - teaspoon salt
1/4 - teaspoon pepper
2 - provolone slices
4 - hamburger buns

Prepare a medium fire in your grill.

While the grill is heating, mix the ground chuck, egg yolk, onion,
garlic, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper in a medium mixing bowl.
Mix lightly, using your hands. (Remember wash your hands before and
after handling the ground beef.)

Place the hamburger patties on an oiled grill grid. Grill directly
over the heat for 5 to 7 minutes per side for medium. Adjust your
times for rare to well done. (A reminder from the US Dept of
Agriculture - when cooking meat, cook it to 160 degrees inside
temperature or the center is no longer pink.)

Toast buns split side down on the edges of the grill grid until
lightly brown.

Place provolone on top of each burger 2 minutes before burger is
done. Grill with cover down until the cheese melts.

Grill over medium-hot coals for a total of 12-15 minutes, turning to
brown evenly. Serve chops immediately.
