Both of my daughters are vegetarians. I developed this simple vegetarian Hoppin' John recipe for them. It can be used as a base for additional ingredients according to personal preference. This recipe was submitted to the Harvard College Dining Services and was selected as a vegetarian option for the student dining halls.
