But yet you won't get arrested for actually committing a crime.
Also, episode 2 is out.
Looks like it will be a series, I really like this format.

Yea South Carolina Sea Island red peas and Carolina Gold rice are unfortunately not readily available in South Louisiana.
Some of the comments on YouTube said they order both from the source and boy let me tell ya, you better be ready to open your check book!

Flavor was 10/10 I didn't coat or dreged them in egg or flour ...
Just raw dogged it straight and drizzled those fried crumbs that fell to the bottom of my grease back on top.

Looks a little janky but damn good flavor!

Yeah I only used a 3rd of that meat because your pot fills up fast :lol:





Oh and the pork chops...



I'm so glad hardly any of y'all order the Pork scallopini, because it leaves more for me!!!

One of the best dishes in South Louisiana when done right.

My version of Hoppin' John

Came across this recipe while my wife was looking for a recipe for Alabama orange cinnamon rolls... But more on that later
So it turns out Hoppin John is an old school dish from the
Gullah Geechee region of South Carolina
I basically went with these 2 different videos for my guide.




Youtube Link

I boiled the ham hock for 45min then added one cup of my beans (crowder peas)


Start simmering and seasoning your other cubed up meats in beef tallow or lard.







When you drain those beans save 3 and 2/3rds cups of that juice to boil your rice in.

Combine everything back to one pot and bring back to a boil while stirring every so often



We didn't have any bread crumbs but had some Dots Garlic Parmesan pretzels that I crushed up to bread my pork chops with then fried it up and served!

Curious, how long and temp you smoked it? Fully cooked? etc. etc.

225ish for just shy of 2 hour
It was 80% done (145-150°) then finished off in the cast iron, with my trinity.
