What is your favorite Southern food recipe?

Answer 1

Mixed greens/Collard greens with smoked meat

5-6 bunches of greens (collard, mustard, turnip, or kale) washed and cut the stems
a few shakes of seasoned salt and black pepper
1/4 cup canola oil
smoked meat (pork or turkey)
dash of red pepper flakes

Fill a big pot half full of water and the seasonings and boil your smoked meat in it for about an hour and a half on high heat. You MUST keep plenty of water in the pot at all times.

Wash the greens thoroughly with salted water about 4-5 times.
Cut the big stem pieces at the end off and throw them away, then cut the greens (leaves) in smaller pieces.
Put the greens into the boiling water with the smoked meat. Add the oil into the pot and keep it boiling on medium high heat with a lid on the pot and cook until the greens are wilted and a dark green color. Reduce the heat to low and let them continue to cook...you MUST turn the greens over and keep the pot half full of water at all times....keep cooking the greens until the stems are tender and the meat is falling from the bones. The total cooking time is approximately 3 and a half hours. Serve this dish with corn bread and any type of meat you like.
