Add enough pork chops to fill, but not over fill pan.


Fry until brown on one side.


Then, turn and repeat frying until brown on other side.


Remove pork chops and all but about 3 teaspoons of oil (try to keep in pieces of the crust from frying).


Add the chopped onions to the oil.


Add about 5 teaspoons of the seasoned flour to pan.


Over reduced heat, brown the flour in the left-over oil and crust.


Add about a cup of water. Bring to boil.


Then, put fried chops back into pan with browned flour and water mixture, reduce and simmer for about 20 to 25 minutes, turning chops occasionally.


Let stand 10 minutes and serve.

Momma's Meatloaf


1 Family pack ground beef


1/2 large onion, chopped


1 bell pepper, large


3/4 of a small can of evaporated milk

Mold meat into a loaf in a roaster or similar deep dish pan.


Bake at 350-375 degrees for about an hour and a half, or until it appears to be done.


You may also drain some of the juice off of the loaf before you top with glaze, but not too much because it will result in a dry meatloaf.


Mix glaze ingredients in equal parts or to taste and cover meatloaf with it.


Bake uncovered until coating is cooked. Slice and serve.





Collard, Mustard, Kale or Turnip Greens


1 large bag of collard, kale, mustard or turnip greens,


1 package smoked turkey necks.


You can also mix the greens if you like.


Instructions: After rinsing turkey necks,


add to large pot filled half way with water and let boil for 25-30 minutes.


Add soul food seasoning to pot as accent to season the pot (enhance flavor).


Pick stems from greens and wash several times in cold water until greens are clean (water is no longer dirty and greens are no longer gritty),


cut greens up and place in boiling water.


Allow greens to cook for an hour or until nice and tender.


Serve with fried chicken and macaroni and cheese and you have good soul food eatin'.

1/2 teaspoon salt


2 cups buttermilk

Put a 9'; cast iron skillet on the stove over medium heat and put the shortening in the skillet.


Mix all the dry ingredients together in one bowl.


Mix the egg and buttermilk together in another bowl.


Mix the dry and wet ingredients together.


When you start to see little wisps of smoke coming from the hot shortening, pour most, not all of the shortening into the cornbread batter and mix well.


Then pour the batter into the hot skillet and enjoy the sizzling sound that guarantees a nice crisp crust.


Place in the middle of the preheated oven and bake about 30 minutes, until nice and brown on top.

And if you want something sweet, put some molasses on there with the butter.





Peach Cobbler


1 large can of Delmonte庐 Sliced Peaches


1 stick of butter or margarine


1 1/2 cups of granulated sugar


1 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla flavor


1 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon


1/2 cup brown sugar


1 box of Pillsbury庐 pie crust mix - follow the directions to make the pie crust

Mississippi Red Beans


1 pack of red kidney beans


3 teaspoons bacon drippings


4 cloves of garlic (chopped)


2 large ham hocks (raw, not smoked)


1 onion (chopped)


1 bell pepper (chopped)


1 package of sausage (preferably spicy)


salt


pepper


cayenne or red pepper


Place beans in container with just enough water to cover.


Soak for 2 hours or until beans begin to plump and wrinkle.


In large pot, place the soaked beans, chopped garlic, bacon drippings, ham hocks and about 3 1/4 cups of water.


Bring to a boil.


Then, reduce heat and let simmer for one hour and thirty minutes or until the meat of the ham hocks begin to loosen from the bone.


At this point, add chopped onion, chopped bell pepper and sausage.


After, add salt and black and red peppers to your liking (because of the bacon drippings and ham hocks, only a moderate amount of salt is needed, the peppers depend on your tolerance of spicy food).


Turn up heat and bring to boil.


Then reduce heat and let simmer for another hour.


Let sit for about 15 to 20 minutes and then your ready for some ';good ole red beans';.


Comments: The secret to good, thick ';bean gravy'; is not to add any more water after the first three cups. Serve with rice and enjoy! And don't forget the cornbread.
I've found excellent ethnic food reads at garage sales and used book


stores. Some of the latter have on-line access to locate an author or title if reader knows what is desired. My favorite is too risque to just


trot out for passer-by. It offers four kinds of selection: Destitution, Friendship, Seduction, %26amp; Revenge.
Go to Foodnetwork.com and check out the recipes from the show, Cooking with the Neelys. They have some great soul food!
Ask a black person.
MAYB SOME NICE CORNBREAD DELCIOUS
