Also laminated biscuits I prefer them on their own but for say biscuits and gravy they're awful. Has to be the right application. Pro biscuit is fluffy, sausage egg and cheese with some strawberry jelly. Another pro is more simple, justy butter and jelly. Mmmm. That and a cup of earl grey and you have a primo breakfast.

Kaiser Schnitzel posted:I used to just use crisco, now I use crisco, butter, and lard In about equal parts. I’ve done all lard and all butter, but I prefer all lard to all butter. Butter makes tougher biscuits or something in my experience. They’re not bad, they’re just not melt in your mouth tender southern biscuits. Would make sense as butter is adding water that all lard isn't, which would lead to more gluten development and from there, toughness.

I've lived in the south all of my life but tonight was the first time I cooked my own greens. I had just read this thread and was at the store, so I grabbed some fresh mustard greens. After removing the center rib I washed them a few times in a bowl of water. I threw bacon fat and diced onion into a pot. Added the greens, some chicken stock, seasoned salt, a couple of garlic cloves (slightly smashed), a bit of honey, and 1/4 cup of apple cider vinegar. Threw the lid on and cooked for about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. Fan-loving-tastic. And I know that Crystal is the real deal hot sauce, but for beans-n-greens of any variety I'll take my Tabasco.

This thread is looking kind of quiet so I'm going to crosspost from the dinner thread. Chicken-fried steak with cream gravy, a baked potato with some fixings, and fried pickled okra along with some other stuff from that jar like garlic. Hit like a ton of bricks and was exactly what I needed when I was feeling a little homesick.

Anyone have a decent recipe for smothered pork chops? I've never made them before, but it seems like the type of stick-to-your-ribs meal that would be perfect as the weather is getting colder.

My family's recipe is trashy but delicious. Cut up a couple onions and brown them in some butter in a Dutch oven. Set the onions aside and sear pork chops. Return onions and juices to the Dutch oven. Add a packet of Lipton onion soup (or two, depending on how much water) and water to cover, plus whatever sounds like a good idea (pepper, garlic, thyme, bay leaf, whatever). Foil, lid, 350° for an hour. I say pork chops, but growing up we always used to have it with little circles of tenderloin. That's more expensive now, but chops or sliced loin also work fine, whatever's on sale. If you want to be classier than Lipton's, ATK's recipe (paywalled but available on blogs) has you making a roux. Either way, I strongly recommend serving it over mashed potatoes. I do 2 lbs red potatoes, 1 head roasted garlic (or 3 cloves raw), 1 stick of butter, small shot of milk/cream. I like mine lumpy, but if you want smooth you could do more dairy. I think baby peas or green beans go well as the veg, but you could do an arugula salad or something. Anne Whateley fucked around with this message at 15:31 on Oct 26, 2020 |

Well, the smothered pork chops turned out tremendous. Big hit at my house. I used a bit of the advice from both of the recipes that were posted. I made my own gravy, but I had half a packet of Lipton French Onion Soup mix laying around and threw that in there too. The whole thing was very rich and delicious, and I will be 350 pounds shortly if I eat like that very often. Thanks again for the advice!

Thank gently caress, 2020 is finally over! I made a one-pot hoppin john & greens to celebrate the end of the worst year ever! bacon 2 big onions some jalepeno and anaheim peppers celery garlic, extra garlic ham 1 lb black eyed peas (pre-soaked but just for 6ish hours not overnight, so the peas stay firm) stock & some tomato paste yellow bell pepper kale black pepper & thyme, smoked paprika, bit of tarragon some white wine vinegar at the end to keep the kale bright and cut through the bacon fat probably should have some cornbread or something on the side but I played videogames all afternoon rather than do that. maybe tomorrow.

Anyone have a favorite fried catfish recipe? I haven't done it in a long time. I used to marinade in buttermilk and then dredge but that was kind of heavy and gloppy.

I have never succeeded to my standards in frying either catfish (or cornmeal breaded tofu after I went veg) or okra , I don't have any idea what the secret is.

I like to marinade mine in lemon juice and salt for 10m or so then dredge in a mix of 1 part yellow mustard, 2 parts beaten egg. Roll into cornmeal seasoned with cayenne and black pepper. Fry till done and top with salt and splash of lemon juice.

We actually deep fried our sprouts, but I offered a roasted version for the sake of most home cooks not having a fryer and they used that one.

Does frozen cut okra work fine in okra and tomatoes? I’ve only ever used fresh.

Kaiser Schnitzel posted:Does frozen cut okra work fine in okra and tomatoes? I’ve only ever used fresh. Yeah, it's fine but the texture is mushier. Fresh is best, blanched and frozen at home from fresh is second best IME, and commercially frozen is a little mushier and less flavorful, but still better than no okra.

A little tough, might should have gotten the frozen young whole okra and cut it up myself. Eastern NC style crock pot pulled pork, purple hulls, okra and maters and cornbread:

Fresh field peas are showing up in my local produce market. I cooked some pink-eyes and zipper peas the other day that were really good with baby squash casserole. They had some good snap beans too so I did snap beans and red potatoes. I don't know what it is about boiling snap beans with potatoes that makes them both taste so much better but dang they're good, no pork required.

Some old hill people types used to smoke them in the chimney and use them as a bacon replacement for flavoring.

Put melted lard in your cornbread instead of oil. It’s good and makes it super crispy. I dunno why, but a little lard in the oil when frying seems to make things crispy too?

That's like, the best of British fried fish culture and American fried fish culture all rolled in to one! Need some clam strips and chips with a side of greens now. This reminds me - a new soul food place just opened in my neighborhood in Vegas, taking over for an old Filipino cafeteria. On the windows they've written words such as "yams", "chitterlings", and "neck bones with rice". I haven't been since they opened, but I'll go soon. All sides $1!

I can't get into chitterlings but neck bones are good as heck. I made some neckbone gumbo one time that was amazing.

If you're in Orlando metro and want a great expat pub, including fish and chips, curry chips, and your Shepard's pie coming with a side of chips, go to St Andrews tavern in Altamonte. Featuring the smallest bathroom you'll never want to more than piss in. I miss that place.

Clermont Fish House was amazing. Mother in Law had cod: Wife had haddock: I had a sausage roll: The chips were perfect. And the hush puppies were probably the best I've ever had. We also got sticky toffee pudding, but I didn't get a pic of that. Would recommend for sure.
