Granny’s Country Greens

No Southern meal is complete without greens. Traditionally, they’re simmered long and slow until melty and soft. I love ’em that way, but actually prefer a little bite to them—both in their mustardy flavor and hearty leafy texture. Growing up in the South, I learned that the greens were sometimes besides the point. The pot likker—the leftover cooking broth—is what really matters, at least as much as the greens themselves. Traditionally, salt pork simmers alongside the greens to flavor the likker. I use smoked turkey wings to get a broth that’s just as tasty but has even more complex gamey, savory flavors. Be sure to serve this with Skillet Cornbread for sopping. And save any leftover likker to make soup. From “Cooking with Love.” Read the rest of this entry » This post was submitted by Carla Hall.

Mama’s Spinach Kugel

Gvetch

My mother-in-law, of blessed memory, came to live with Reuben and myself when we had been married a year. She was a dear, sweet woman and we got along famously. She worked, as did I, until our first daughter was born a year later. Mom graciously offered her services as babysitter and we got to go out frequently. This particular Sunday, Mom suggested that she make us Sunday dinner. She made what I later learned was Gvetch. I was very angry with her. “Mom, why did you wait until you were living with us three years before making this delicious dish? I’m angry with you for not having made it long before this day.” Mom received this recipe from a Romanian lady; but, I think it is from the Middle East.

Mushroom Challah Stuffing

My mother’s father was a baker from Poland who came to the Lower East Side of NYC and moved to Stamford, CT. where he baked professionally until he was in his 70′s. Breads of all kinds were plentiful in my mother’s home. Moist, square onion rolls with flecks of chopped onions folded into the middle, sliced rye bread with seeds, and challah for every Shabbat.

The Bortman Spinach Kugel

Grandma Bortman made several giant batches of her family-famous spinach kugel for my parents’ wedding. She made so much kugel that even though everyone loved it and had seconds and thirds, there was since 3 full kugels left over after the reception. My recently-turned Jewish mom took all three home and would not eat anything Read the rest of this entry »
