LOW COUNTRY VEGGIE ROLLS

Steps:

• To make the filling for the egg rolls, heat the olive oil over medium heat in a wok or large skillet. Add the collard greens, cabbage, carrots, onion, salt and pepper and saute until wilted and beginning to soften, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook another minute. Turn up the heat to medium-high and add the soy sauce, sesame oil, vinegar and liquid smoke and cook until the liquid is absorbed, 1 to 2 minutes. Turn off the heat, then add the scallions and black-eyed peas. Remove to a bowl and let cool completely.
• Preheat 2 inches canola oil to 350 degrees F in a deep skillet or enameled cast-iron pot. Line a sheet tray with a wire rack.
• Lay an egg roll wrapper on a cutting board, oriented in a diamond shape. Add about an eighth of the mixture (a generous 1/3 cup) horizontally across the wrapper, in a line going from one corner to another. With your finger, spread a little water on the edges of the wrapper to moisten. Fold up the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the ends and roll up the wrapper, making sure it is sealed. Set aside and repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
• Fry the rolls in batches, flipping once, until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to the wire rack to drain.
• Serve warm with the Pepper Jelly Sauce.
• Whisk together the pepper jelly, hot sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil and vinegar in a small bowl and set aside.

SALMON AND VEGGIE GRAIN BOWL

Steps:

• Zest 1 teaspoon of the lemon rind and reserve. Cut the lemon in half.
• Bring a medium saucepan of generously salted water to a boil. Add the farro and cook until just tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water, then set aside.
• Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season the salmon with salt and pepper. Add the salmon to the skillet and cook about 3 minutes per side, until just cooked through. Squeeze in the juice of one of the lemon halves. Set the salmon aside to cool slightly, then flake with a fork into chunks.
• Squeeze the juice of the remaining lemon half into a small bowl, add the shallots, the reserved lemon zest and the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and whisk together. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Divide the farro between 2 bowls. Arrange the salmon, radishes, peas and avocado over the farro and drizzle over the dressing. Garnish with dill and serve.

VEGETARIAN FRESH SPRING ROLLS
