Year after year and the search for recipes to attract luck and luck is always high in this period. Of all the superstitions that are part of our culture, let’s face it, the gastronomic ones are the most interesting. After all, they won’t hurt you, and if you don’t get rich, at least you ate well, right?
Find out below what you should eat to, who knows, get rich in 2024.
Lentil
The belief that eating lentils on New Year’s Eve brings good luck and prosperity for the next 365 days comes from a biblical passage, which is part of the Old Testament. By giving up his rights as firstborn for a bowl of lentils, Esau, son of Isaac and brother of Jacob, became a rich man. When in doubt, it is best to follow tradition: Check out ten easy recipes with lentils for your New Year’s Eve dinner.
Mochi
It is Japanese tradition to eat mochi (read mô-ti) during the first meal of the new year to attract luck and abundance. Those who want to follow the custom to the letter must hurry and order a portion of glutinous rice cake in a specialized market (since on January 1st you will hardly find any place open).
Now, if you’re not local, you can wait until January 2 to eat chef Telma Shiraishi’s now-traditional ozoni. The soup is based on a vegetarian dashi, in which mochi is dipped. Chard, shiitake, carrots, turnips, chives, myoga and konbu rolls complete the dish, which will be served at Aizomê (at Japan House) until the 7th for R$32.
Aizomê/Japan House – av. Paulista, 52 years old, Bella Vista. 11.30am/4.30pm (closes on Monday).
Pomegranate
Those who fail to fulfill their New Year’s wishes can still count on their luck on the Day of the Three Kings. Tradition dictates that you eat three pomegranate seeds, save the seeds and keep them in your wallet all year round to attract luck. Check it out here seven recipes to make with leftover fruit grains.
lucky dumplings
This only applies to January 29th and also applies to the following months. It doesn’t matter what type of gnocchi (potato, cassava, sweet potato…) or seasoning – you can choose the version you prefer – what cannot be missing is a banknote under the plate. When you eat the first seven dumplings, think about luck and luck. Discover some recipes here.
