Black-Eyed Peas and Forbidden Rice with Crispy Kale
This is one of my favorite variations of the “beans, greens, and grains” dishes. Delicata is a versatile winter squash with lots of personality. Not only is it perfectly sweet, but the skin is thinner than most winter squashes, so you don’t have to peel it before roasting. The combination of sweetness from the squash and savory notes from the roasted mushrooms create the perfect party when they’re nestled into forbidden rice and mingling with black-eyed peas. The crunchy kale is the crowning jewel, and it’s a great excuse to make up a tray of kale chips to snack on while you’re waiting for dinner.
