Swamp Cabbage

Remove the apical bud from 2 mature Sabal palmettos (Cabbage Palms) by cutting the head out of the palm from a point about the length of an ax handle beneath the newest emerging shoot. Remove fronds until the inner bud is reached. Save only the material that you can snap with your fingers, similar to snap peas. Dice up the "cabbage", rinse and set aside.

In a large pot, saute 1/2 lb. of bacon, diced fine. Once the bacon has browned, add 2 large onions diced, and saute until softened. Add 1/tsp Black Pepper and 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder.

Add 2 10.5 oz cans of stewed tomatoes and the cabbage. Add water until the cabbage is covered. Bring to a boil, and then simmer, stirring occasionally for about an hour, until the cabbage is fork tender.

Serve in bowls with crusty bread for dunking.

Note: In Florida, Sabal Palmettos are protected and can only be harvested on private property. I usually get enough removal work to make a pot of swamp cabbage whenever I get the urge. You can also find the palm heads on the palm pile at your friendly neighborhood brush site ;-)
 
Sounds yummy Richard. Mail me some?

A French Canadian delight that I am NOT suggesting you actually try. But you might want to anyway.

Poutine
Hot french fries tossed lightly with the freshest white cheese curds you can buy. Then top with brown gravy - preferably St. Huberts special poutine gravy mix.

Yes, its basically carbs fried in fat with fat tossed in and more fat poured over the top!

I don't eat it, tho I often want to.

Enjoy if you dare.
 
S & S Burrito mix

1. 1 lb. ground beef. Brown and drain grease.

2. Ad approx. 1 cup Pace Picante sauce and approx. 2 tablespons of honey. Approximate because I just pour it, but it's about that much.

3. Heat on med-high and stir until most of the juice evaporates.

4. Spoon into flour tortilla and add whatever else you like (cheese, frijolles, etc.).

Makes 3-4 burritos, depending on who's eating them. The honey is a suprising compliment to the picante. Discovered it back in my cowboy'n days when I tried to make a vaquero version of sweet and sour = sweet and spicy!
