I promised myself at the start of last week that I would make a southern meal. I knew what I wanted too: Collards, ribs and mac & cheese. Of course this is one of those things you can try and cook in a day, and you will be too sorely exhausted to eat.
This means the meal will take me three days and and shall be Sunday's dinner. First and foremost, I started with the greens. I was forewarned the pre-cut greens needed to be washed and the rough stems removed. I did not know how many stems I found, but it felt endless. I got them out. This pot needed meats too. So I used three: thick cut bacon, ham steaks and country spareribs. It took some doing, but I got it all cooked last night. it resides in my fridge as I get the ribs done.
The ribs were marinated last night after I rubbed light salt, cayenne pepper and Italian seasonings upon them. Used a Teriyaki marinade as well. Once par boiled I put them in the oven with a BBQ sauce. Mixed in the sauce some honey and a palmful of cayenne pepper. I sweet flamer with a spicy kick in the background.
The macaroni and cheese is in the oven now. Used three cheeses: Mozzarella, Colby and Cheddar. Eventually its gonna be done and cheesy. Busy day.
