	Southern Low Country Braised Pig's Feet by Smokinhotchef This recipe sings low country with high notes. A very significant part of African American heritage and culture. Pig's feet, along with the other 'undesirable' discarded parts, like ears and chittlins' were a staple in the slaves' diets as well as pinto beans and cornbread, also their personal vegetable gardens. This was sustainable…	1 vote 1 comment 27990 views
	Chiapas Pot Roasted Pork - Cochito Chiapaneco by John Spottiswood I adapted this delicious, crispy-edged meat recipe from Rick Bayless's Mexican Kitchen. Nancy and I used to eat at his restaurant, the Frontera Grill, when we lived in Chicago. I served this over black beans and rice along with my spicy Ropa Vieja recipe and it was a huge hit. This would be a great alternative to carnitas for a…	1 vote 8042 views
	Good Ole Fashioned Southern Creecy Greens by Smokinhotchef A low-country delicacy of sorts, creecy greens are often not found in supermarkets like more common greens i.e. mustard, kale, collard.

	A Different Pork Pozole by Bob Vincent This is a different take on Pozole that I concocted over the weeked. It is heavy on pork/chorizo with less Hominy than most recipes.

I used canned…	2 votes 1 comment 2996 views
	Savory Country Style Corned Beef Hash by Smokinhotchef This recipe is a simple satisfying and quick meal. Canned corn beef is matched with potatoes, onions and green pepper for chunky forks full of flavor. With time constraints as well as trying to pinch pennies, it's nice to know you can happily create a meal for at least 4 people with just 1 can. Served simply with buttered or olive…	1 vote 1 comment 4504 views
	Succulent Braised Oxtails with Celery and Onion by Smokinhotchef A delicious and amazingly tender dish of oxtails can be prepared with a little time, love and tenderness. The oxtail becomes extremely flavorful since there's a large bone nestled in every cut. This dish is especially perfect for those cool winter days as well as rainy ones when you yearn for the smell of long cooked meats to…	1 vote 1 review 2 comments 3437 views
