How to cook lima beans: In a large bowl,put amount of lima beans into water,put the lid on and put in the frig overnight so that the beans can soak up the water.When you take out the next day,drain water off and rinse beans.Then put the beans in a large pot,add water until it is about one inch over the beans,add strips of fat back,bring to boil,then dump the beans in a crock pot cook on low heat for several hours.They are done when the beans are tender.
I really dont have any recipes for soul food. I just know when I cook I put all my soul into my cooking and my food!!!
secret: Congac in your BBQ sauce. I bet yoy knew that already.
pinto beans: a bag of pinto beans rinsed well and pick out any of the undesirable beans, a stick of butter, diced onion, salt, pepper, a ham bone and about 4 cups of water. put everything into a big pot with a lid and cook on low for about 4 hrs. fried cabbage: cut up cabbage and rinse well, cup of vegetable oil, salt and pepper. let oil get hot add cabbage and salt/pepper. coat the cabbage well with the oil. when they start to go limp add a half cup of water and cover with lid. make sure stove top is on low and cook for about 20 minutes. good eating sweetie
You need to get a scythe, kind of like the one the grim reaper uses and harvest a few souls. You'd need to bind them in some lidded container, like an 8 or 10-quart stockpot. To do so, try this recipe in it:





Granny's Fried Corn





Ingredients:





6-8 large ears of sweet yellow corn (Frozen Corn may be substituted)


2 large green peppers, diced


1/2 cup all purpose flour


1 tablespoon sugar


salt and pepper to taste


1/2 cup shortening (cooking oil may be substituted)





Instructions:





Shuck and de-silk the ears of corn, then rinse.





Using a sharp knife remove the kernels from the cob, scraping to get it all.





Mix green peppers, flour, sugar, salt and pepper together coating the corn well with the mixture.





Heat shortening or oil until one kernel dropped in it sizzles.





Put your corn in the skillet and fry until the corn is tender and the flour starts to brown.





Stir frequently to prevent the flour from sticking.





HINT: You may want to cover the skillet with a lid to help tenderize the corn evenly.
My idea of soul food is sausage, beans and mash. Yum! :)
Maya Angelou and Patti Labelle have excellent cookbooks with delicious soul food recipes and they aren't too expensive bought them for my daughter but I am the only one using them
