Number Of Ingredients 12

3 lb pork ribs
1 tsp salt
1 bay leaf
2 tsp fresh thyme
5 whole cloves
2 yellow onions
1 c cornmeal, coarse
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp fresh sage leaves
1 lb pork liver
3 garlic cloves
1/4 stick butter

Steps:

  • 1. Peel and dice one onion.
  • 2. Simmer pork ribs with salt, bay leaf, thyme, cloves and onion in the water until the meat falls off the bones.
  • 3. Remove the bones and gristle, rub the meat into fibers (with your fingers), and reduce this pork liquor to about 4 cups by further boiling.
  • 4. Cool 1 cup of the pork liver and mix it with coarse corn meal and cayenne.
  • 5. Add the sage, rubbing it between your fingers to crush it as you put it in.
  • 6. In your food processor, using the steel blade, grind pork liver, the other onion, and the garlic cloves.
  • 7. Fry the resulting slurry in butter.
  • 8. Add the cornmeal mixture and the pork-liver mixture to the pork liquor and simmer the whole thing over a very low flame (or in the top of a double boiler) for half an hour.
  • 9. Spread thin into two 9-inch square pans to cool. (The pans needn\'t be greased.)
  • 10. To serve, cut and fry squares or fingers with sunny-side-up eggs on the side.
