Steps:
- 1. Correctly identify and pick your poke. Try to pick them when they are young as the greens will be more tender and have a nicer flavor.
- 2. Cut just the leaves from stems.
- 3. Soak your greens in cold water for 20-30 minutes and wash very thoroughly. Dry by pressing between clean towels or using a salad spinner.
- 4. Chop greens into bite-size pieces.
- 5. Set three pots of water to boil and add a teaspoon of salt to each pot. Boil in first pot for five minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water. Transfer to the next pot of clean boiling water. Repeat the process with each pot of clean boiling water. Do not skip this step. Drain and set aside.
- 6. Saute onions in bacon grease.
- 7. Add drained greens, stirring well.
- 8. Sprinkle corn meal, salt and pepper over greens, and pour beaten egg into greens, scramble all together until egg is cooked and ingredients are well blended and serve.
