Basic Soul Food Collard Greens








Ingredients:





4-6 bunches of collard cleaned and steamed


5 slices of turkey bacon


1 smoked turkey leg


1 large chopped onion


seasoning salt to taste


black pepper to taste


7 cups of water





Instructions:





Lay collard greens on top of each other, (no more then 4 at a time)


roll and then cut in half with a knife.


Cut even smaller if you have large leaves.


Line the bottom of a large stock pot with the bacon.


Cook on medium heat until done


Add the water to the stock pot and the grease and bring to a boil.


Now add the smoked turkey, pepper and salt to taste.


Let mixture boil for 10 minutes.


Add the collard greens, and more salt and pepper to taste if desired


to the stock pot.


Rapidly boil for 45 minutes.


Reduce heat and let simmer for 4-6 hours.











Beer Battered Halibut


Perhaps my all-time favorite fish is halibut, and beer battered is my favorite


way of cooking it although it's hard to ruin halibut. Fresh halibut should be


available in your supermarket's seafood section when in season. It can get


expensive. I get mine from friends who live in the northwest and overnight mail


it to me :-)





Ingredients:


3 pounds halibut


1 1/2 cups all purpose flour


1 teaspoon seasoned salt


1 teaspoon pepper


1 teaspoon paprika


1 12 oz can of been (any kind)


Cooking oil. You can cook it in a frying pan or a deep fryer. That determines


how much cooking oil you use. I use vegetable oil.





Preparation:


1. Cut halibut into chunks about 1 1/2 inches square works nicely.


2. Combine all the dry ingredients in a bowl. Mix to blend.


3. Stir in beer to form a loose batter.


4. Drop the halibut chunks into the batter.


5. Heat your oil to medium high. I put my deep fryer on 375.


6. Fish out battered halibut chunks and drop them into the hot oil. Don't put


too many at a time. When they are a golden brown on all sides take them out and


place on a paper towel to drain.


Goes great with just about anything including collard greens, corn bread, and


Cole slaw. Also tastes great just eaten alone. From Soulfood Recipes Learned On

Baked Chicken:


Just season the meat well with some seasoning salt %26amp; garlic or salt, pepper %26amp; garlic, put in a baking pan %26amp; cover. Cook in oven @ 325 degrees. I always let mine cook for at least 3 hours. After it's cooked for about 2 hours uncover it so the outside can get brown. When it covered the mean gets tender, but it's all white %26amp; doesn't look appetizing. Also, turn the meat every hour. Once the chicken is a nice brown %26amp; the juices on the bottom of the pan have become sticky %26amp; somewhat thick it should be finish. I recommend using a disposible foil pan.
