Cabbage
Ingredients:
One head of cabbage (preferably one straight from the garden)
Hog Jowls
Salt
Pepper
Cornbread
Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter
2/3 cup sugar
2 eggs (preferably eggs from your chicken.. if available)
1 cup cornmeal
1cup flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt (if using self-rising flour, omit salt and baking soda)
1 cup buttermilk
Cornbread-
Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees F (175 degrees C). Melt butter in iron.skillet, do not let boil. In a bowl, combine all dry ingredients. Wisk eggs in a separate bowl, then add to dry mixture. Add remaining ingredients (including butter) and mix until well blended and a few lumps remain. Pour batter into buttery iron skillet. Bake 30 to 40 minutes, or until golden brown.
Cabbage-
A cabbage grown in the winter is the best to choose from...it will already be sweet. Clean and cut cabbage taking note to separate dark and light leaves. Slice Hog Jowls and bake in oven until crispy. Put dark green leaves, drippings from Hog Jowls, salt, pepper and a splash of water (not much because cabbage makes it's own water). Cook for about 10 minutes, then add the rest of the cabbage and cook until slightly tender. Do not cook too long or it will be mushy. Fresh tomatoes or homemade chow chow makes a great topping. Enjoy this as a side or add the jowls to your plate for the meal. ENJOY!!!!!
