TODAY WERE GOING TO COOK UP SOME THING THAT IS SOUTHERN AS SOUTHERN CAN BE . FIRST THING WE NEED IS SOME SMOKED NECK BONES, THEY SURE DO ADD THE FLAVOR TO THE STUFF THEY ARE COOKED IN. THEY ARE GREAT IN LIMA BEANS OR PINTO BEANS BUT NOT TODAY,TODAY THEY ARE FOR SOME GREENS. COLLARD GREENS, HARD TO BEAT GOOD COLLARD GREENS. BEST IF YOU CAN GET THEM FRESH SO LOOK IN THE PRODUCE DEPT AND MAYBE THEY WILL HAVE THEM FRESH AND YOU CAN PICK OUT A COUPLE BUNCHES OF THEM. NOW REMEMBER WHEN THEY COOK THEY REALLY DRAW UP ( a big pot full gets less and less as they cook,so get enough to have a big pot full ) IF YOU FIND FRESH ONES YOU WANT TO WASH THEM VERY VERY GOOD AND REMOVE ALL THE LARGE STEMS THEN CUT THEM IN STRIPS THAT ARE ABOUT 1/2 INCH WIDE, NOW LISTEN THIS ANT BRAIN SURGERY JUST CUT THEM UP OK, NO BIG DEAL. NOW BACK TO THE NECK BONES YOU NEED JUST A LB OR TWO AND YOU NEED TO START TO BOIL THEM IN LARGE POT OF WATER ADD SOME SALT TO TASTE AND I HAVE A LITTLE TRICK TO SHARE WITH YOU LATER ABOUT THE GREENS SO DONT LET ME FOR GET TO TELL YOU, OK ? OPPS YOU SAY YOU COULD NOT FIND ANY FRESH COLLARD GREENS IN YOUR STORE, WELL FIRST THING YOU DO IS TELL THE STORE MANAGER YOU GOT TO HAVE SOME,OK? THEN YOU GO INTO THE FROZEN FOODS AND SEE IF YOU CAN FIND SOME HERE. NOW THESE ARENT GOING TO BE QUIT AS GOOD BUT THEY REALLY ARE GOOD ANYWAY AND NOW LAST BUT I HOPE YOU DONT HAVE TO GO THIS WAY BUT IF ALL ELSE FAILS THEN FIND SOME IN THE CAN GOODS AND WHAT YOU DO IS DRAIN THEM AND WASH THE CANNING LIQUID FROM THEM AND COOK THE NECK BONES LONGER BEFORE YOU PLACE THE GREENS IN WITH THEM. NOW WE HAVE THE WATER BOILING HARD AND THE GREENS ARE WASHED GOOD SO WE PUT THEM IN THE POT AND SEE A LARGE POT FULL BECOME SMALLER AND SMALLER AS THEY WILT DOWN AND BEGAIN TO COOK MAKE SURE THE WATER COVERS THEM WITH A LITTLE EXTRA.BESURE TO GIVE THEM PLENTY OF TIME TO COOK REALLY WELL LIKE MAYBE 3 HRS ON A LOW SIMMER . OH YEA MY SECRET FOR A BIG POT OF COLLARD GREENS IS JUST THIS ADD ABOUT 2 TABLESPOONS OF SUGAR IT REALLY MAKES THEM GOOD. SERVE WITH PEPPER SAUCE (not the red stuff but the peppers in vinager) |
HEY THERE I AM SO GLAD TO SEE YOU BACK AGAIN. TODAY WERE GOING TO COOK SOMETHING THAT IS VERY EASY AND SOO SOO GOOD. YOU GIRLS UP NORTH THAT HAVE NEVER TRIED THESE PLEASE DO TRY THEM. THEY REALLY ARE GOOD IF YOU TAKE THE TIME AND DO IT RIGHT. |
