Good Morning All! On this almost, last day of August.
I hope that you are finding the time to watch some Autumn leaves fall as the trees start to shed their beautiful leaves. As always, I am wishing you, a good day for today.
I do have a good recipe for you that I hardly ever see being cooked, these days. This one comes from way back in time and it will take you back to fond memories of family in the kitchen. My first Mother-in-law (Alice) taught me this recipe. along with her Mother (Nanny Brown).
Both were and are the most amazing cooks that I had the pleasure of learning to cook with those beautiful ladies. Like I said, the fondest memories come back to me with this recipe, of the smells and the love that these two Women shared with me, a very young married teenager at the time, who did not even know how to boil water as I was never taught at home.
I guess that is the reason that I love to share my recipes and tips for others! Well, on to the recipe!
A package of smoked neckbones (I used a large pack) as you can see in the pot.
2 c of rice uncooked ( I only use par-broiled rice in my house) it gives a firmer texture to the rice.
Seasonings I used are: 1 tsp Cavender’s Greek seasoning
1 tsp Accent 1TBSP pink salt and 1 tsp black pepper
Put 10 c of water into a big pot and add the smoked neckbones and seasonings.
Boil on medium-high for 40 minutes with the lid off the pot.
Time to add the rice into the pot now. (If there is less than 4 1/2 cups of water in the pot, add a little more water). Bring to a rolling boil and stir and cover the pot with a lid. Turn down the heat to #4.
After 20 minutes, check the rice to see if it is done with no water left in the pot. If there is water then take the lid off the pot and raise temperature to #6 and stay with it for about 5 to 8 minutes and the water will cook into the rice.
I would have loved to have some mustard greens and cornbread to go along with this, or maybe some speckled butterbeans and biscuits! (these recipes are also in my archives of 2020 and 2021).
I hope that I have made you hungry from the past and present memories! Thanks for stopping by and visiting with me for today!
As always, Connie B. #CONNIEBRECIPESWISDOMFORPENNIES
