Chef John's Red Beans and Rice
Any time someone asks the question, 'What exactly is soul food?' the answer should always be 'a comforting bowl of red beans and rice.' Just sit them down, give them a spoon, and when they finish, ask them if they understand. They will.
Pressure Cooker Red Beans and Sausage
I am from the South, and red beans and rice is a weekly tradition in my house. This recipe is cooked in no time, thanks to the pressure cooker! Serve over hot cooked rice.
Neck Bones and Lima Beans
Meaty neck bones and fresh dry beans are best for this one. If done correctly meat should fall off the bones. Great over rice.
Soul Smothered Chicken
A favorite smothered chicken recipe. You can't just go to any restaurant and get this comforting dish like you would if you went down to the urban neighborhoods in Houston. This meal of browned chicken in a savory chicken gravy sauce is best when served over a bed of white rice.
Slow Cooker Carolina BBQ
A perfect Carolina pulled pork recipe. Just find yourself a slow cooker, a big pork shoulder, some cider vinegar, and get cooking! While ground and crushed red pepper will provide the basic heat, go the extra mile and find some Texas Pete (or Trappey's) pepper sauce to bring the taste of Carolina to your kitchen.
Southern-Style Pig Tails
Pig tails are used in a lot of different cuisines. They are great as a meat dish with turnip greens, blackeye peas, or boiled cabbage. My recipe cooks the tails twice, and the result is a crispy crackling covering the tail that you can eat or save for crackling in cornbread. The crushed red pepper can be used liberally for a spicy taste. Be sure to buy pig tails that have a lot of meat around the upper part.
Cajun Boudin
This recipe for boudin (boo-dahn) is made with pork, rice, and seasonings. Boudin is a wonderfully scrumptious dish that's normally stuffed with pork and rice, but you can add shrimp, crawfish, or alligator meat if desired.
Creole Chitterlings (Chitlins)
There are some recipes for chitlins that are called Southern; however, the Creole and Cajun culture cooks chitterlings a bit differently than the rest of the South. I believe this simple recipe does the heritage justice. Serve with your favorite side dishes and store any leftovers in the refrigerator. Like so many other great soul food dishes, chitlins taste even better after the flavor has soaked in for a few hours.
Hoppin' John
My grandma always made Hoppin' John on New Year's Day when I was growing up in Virginia. I now live in New Mexico and decided to put a spicy Southwestern spin on her recipe. It's simple and tasty, and has some heat.
Country Cooking Slow Cooker Neck Bones
This is a country, budget-friendly recipe for neck bones that everyone will enjoy. Serve over rice with a side of green beans.
Pan-Fried Whole Trout
This fried trout recipe is the best way to prepare freshly caught wild brook trout. Serve with a side of creamy mashed potatoes and steamed Swiss chard.
Crawfish Etouffee
This traditional Cajun stew gets its flavor from what is known as the Trinity–onion, green bell pepper, and celery–and the rich spices used to create Cajun seasoning. It's similar to gumbo but with a thicker, gravy-type base. Serve over rice to make a complete meal.
