Celebrate Juneteenth with these recipes and stories
All of the recipes in this compilation have a special meaning for this holiday: many are family favorites that are often requested at parties and barbecues. Others however are more specific to Juneteenth. On this day red represents the memory of struggle and sacrifice. So perfect recipes for your celebration might be Roberta Solomon's Barbecue Sauce Watermelon Cucumber & Corn Salsa or Sparkling Strawberry-Ginger Lemonade. In addition we've included recipes using the traditional prosperity foods: kale rice beans and corn. These are said to bring good fortune to the table and to all who eat them.
Porgy also known as scup or bream is a medium-fat firm white fish with a mild flavor and edible skin. It is ideal for battering and frying as in this recipe. If you can’t find porgy any medium-sized firm white fish (with skin if desired) will work in this delicious recipe. Buttermilk helps the cornmeal coating stick to the fish and keeps it moist while seafood seasoning adds a nice kick. Ask your fishmonger to clean the fish and remove the heads and fins.
This marinated salad is a healthy way to enjoy those fresh summer veggies and is easily customizable. Try adding some fresh herbs or feta cheese for extra flavor. You can also use seasoned peppers which are enhanced with extra spices. This recipe is part of our Juneteenth Family Cookout Menu.
