Time 3h30m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 24

1 (6 pound) pork butt, cut into cubes
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch ground thyme, or to taste
8 slices bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 ½ pounds okra, sliced crosswise into 1/2-inch-wide pieces
3 pounds smoked sausage, sliced and halved
2 cups chopped onion
2 cups chopped bell pepper
2 cups chopped celery
2 tablespoons chopped garlic
1 gallon chicken stock, divided
1 (16 ounce) jar premade roux (such as Kary's®)
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon paprika
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
1 ½ teaspoons file powder
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 teaspoon dried thyme
4 bay leaves
1 pinch Creole seasoning (such as Slap Ya Mama®)
5 (15 ounce) cans black-eyed peas, undrained
4 (15 ounce) cans mustard greens, drained
2 (10 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with green chile peppers (such as RO*TEL®)
1 (16 ounce) package sliced fresh mushrooms

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Season pork cubes with salt, pepper, and thyme to taste and place in a cast iron skillet.
  • Cook pork cubes in the preheated oven until cooked through, about 30 minutes. Transfer pork from skillet to a bowl, reserving drippings.
  • Cook and stir bacon in a 9-quart Dutch oven or heavy pot over medium heat until browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate, reserving bacon grease.
  • Cook and stir okra in the bacon grease over medium heat until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer okra to a bowl, reserving bacon grease. Cook and stir smoked sausage in bacon grease until browned, about 5 minutes. Add onion, bell pepper, celery, and garlic to sausage; cook and stir until softened, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Stir 48 fluid ounces chicken stock into sausage mixture and bring to a simmer. Stir roux into broth mixture until dissolved and slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Slowly stir 48 fluid ounces chicken stock into thickened stock; bring back to a simmer.
  • Mix pork, pork drippings, bacon, chili powder, paprika, 2 teaspoons black pepper, file powder, rosemary, 1 teaspoon thyme, bay leaves, and Creole seasoning into thickened chicken stock; simmer, stirring often and skimming off fat, until flavors blend, about 1 hour.
  • Stir black-eyed peas, mustard greens, okra, diced tomatoes with green chile peppers, mushrooms, and remaining chicken stock into pork-stock mixture; simmer for 1 hour more.

BLACK-EYED PEA AND PORK GUMBO



Black-Eyed Pea and Pork Gumbo image

The chefs Donald Link and Stephen Stryjewski serve this gumbo regularly at Cochon, their Cajun-Southern restaurant in New Orleans. Its ingredients depart significantly from traditional New Orleans restaurant gumbos, which almost never feature pork, legumes or greens, although those norms have changed in recent years, in part due to Cochon's influence. As a rule, when seasoning gumbo, Mr. Link uses just 75 percent of the suggested spice portions at first, then adds the rest as desired according to taste. Since this recipe can produce varying results, depending on whether you're using smoked pork butt from a local barbecue joint or a store-bought variety, home-cooked black-eyed peas or canned, braised collards or mustard greens, Mr. Link's seasoning approach is particularly useful.

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

3/4 cup peanut or vegetable oil
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup diced white or yellow onion
1/2 cup diced green bell pepper
1/2 cup diced celery
2 tablespoons chopped garlic
3 quarts pork or chicken stock, plus more as needed
1 tablespoon gumbo filé powder
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons ground white pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme
1 1/2 teaspoons chile powder
1 1/2 teaspoons sweet paprika
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cayenne
2 bay leaves
1 tablespoon lard or olive oil
3/4 pound okra, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
1 cup homemade or store-bought cooked and drained black-eyed peas
1 cup braised collard or mustard greens
1 1/4 pounds homemade or store-bought smoked pork butt or shoulder, chopped
Kosher salt
Steamed rice or potato salad, for serving

Steps:

  • In a large pot, heat the peanut or vegetable oil over medium-high. Slowly whisk in the flour and continue whisking until the roux turns dark red and begins to turn brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Add the onion, bell pepper, celery and garlic to the roux and cook, stirring, until vegetables are softened, about 10 minutes. Add the stock, dried spices and bay leaves, and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Simmer over medium-low, skimming occasionally, until flavors meld, at least 45 minutes.
  • In a large nonstick skillet, heat the lard or olive oil over medium-high. Add the okra and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
  • Taste the gumbo: It should not be pasty or taste overwhelmingly of the roux. If it does, you may need to add more stock, up to 4 cups. (The strength of starch in the flour can vary.) If you add more stock, start with just a cup, simmer and stir for a few minutes, and taste the gumbo again. Repeat as needed.
  • Stir the okra, black-eyed peas, greens and pork into the gumbo. Return to a simmer, season with salt and pepper and adjust the spices, if necessary. Serve over steamed rice or potato salad.

BLACK-EYED PEAS WITH BACON AND PORK



Black-Eyed Peas with Bacon and Pork image

Provided by Patrick and Gina Neely : Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Time 14h20m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pound dried black-eyed peas (fresh or canned black-eyed peas can be substituted)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
6 ounces pork shoulder, diced into 1/2-inch cubes
4 strips thick sliced bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 medium onion, small diced
4 garlic cloves, sliced
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
4 cups chicken stock
2 cups water
3 bay leaves
Hot-pepper vinegar, as desired

Steps:

  • If using dried black-eyed peas, put them in a large pot and cover with about 4 inches of water. Soak the peas overnight, then drain the water and rinse. Alternatively, you can "quick-soak" the peas by bringing them and the water to a boil for 2 minutes. After this, remove them from the heat, cover the pot and soak the peas for 1 hour. Then, drain and rinse the peas.
  • Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. When the oil is shimmering, add the pork. Sear until the pork is browned on all sides, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the bacon, onion and garlic to the pot and cook, stirring, until the onion and garlic are lightly browned, about 6 to 8 minutes. Add the salt, black pepper, cayenne and garlic powder. Cook until the entire mixture is coated with the spices, about 2 minutes. Pour in the stock and water and drop in the bay leaves. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for about 30 minutes.
  • When the pork begins to fall apart, add the prepared peas to the pot and simmer until the peas are very soft, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours (see Cook's Note).
  • Taste for seasonings, and add some hot-pepper vinegar, if desired. Discard the bay leaves and transfer the black-eyed peas to a serving bowl.
