Hog Maw translates to Pig Stomach. Grew up with it and I'm still alive and I love this meal. Good Pennsylvania dish.

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Pork     Sausage

Time 1h5m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 baking potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 large pork stomach
1 ½ pounds bulk pork sausage
1 medium head cabbage, separated into leaves and rinsed
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place the potatoes into a large pan with enough lightly salted water to cover them. Bring to a boil, and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and let cool.
  • Wash the pork stomach thoroughly in cold water. Alternate stuffing the pork stomach with potatoes, sausage, and cabbage, seasoning with a little salt and pepper, until the stomach is full. Try to make even layers, imagining how it will look when it is done and you slice it. Fold closed, and place in a shallow roasting pan. If you have any leftover stuffing ingredients, just place them in the pan around the outside.
  • Roast uncovered for 40 to 50 minutes in the preheated oven, until the sausage is cooked through and the stomach is browned and crispy. When done, slice into 2 inch slices and serve piping hot. You can make gravy out of the drippings if desired, but it is good by itself as a whole meal.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe persimmons: Look for persimmons that are soft to the touch and have no blemishes. Avoid persimmons that are bruised or have dark spots.
  • Peel and remove the seeds from the persimmons: To peel a persimmon, cut off the top and bottom of the fruit. Then, use a sharp knife to score the skin of the persimmon from top to bottom. Peel off the skin in strips. To remove the seeds, cut the persimmon in half and scoop out the seeds with a spoon.
  • Mash the persimmons: The easiest way to mash persimmons is to use a food processor. You can also mash them by hand with a potato masher or a fork.
  • Use a combination of flours: This recipe uses a combination of all-purpose flour and whole wheat flour. This helps to give the cookies a chewy texture.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough helps to develop the flavor of the cookies and makes them easier to roll out.
  • Bake the cookies until they are golden brown: The cookies are done baking when they are golden brown around the edges and the tops are no longer shiny.

Conclusion:

These Maw Maw's Persimmon Cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with fresh persimmons, which give them a unique and flavorful taste. The cookies are also chewy and have a slightly crispy exterior. They are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
