Soul Food Cooking: Lemon Chess Pie

Lemon chess pie is truly an classic Southern pastry and you can often find it in soul food cookbooks. The pie is light and yummy. When lemons come in season, their particular fresh perfume adds exceptional depth to this pastry. My grandma swears that, when she had been a little girl, the Baton Rouge Country Club produced “the finest ever” lemon chess pie. Garnish with Cool Whip, vanilla flavor ice cream, strawberries or maybe blueberries if you want.

Soul Food Dirty Rice Recipe

Listed here is a time honored dirty rice recipe that serves 8-10. Dirty rice got its name given that it had previously been prepared along with chicken livers and gizzards, that would make the rice a light brown shade. Within my method, I take advantage of spicy Andouille sausage when serving it to the boys, since they like a little extra “kick”. Whenever I am serving it to “the girls” I prefer to make use of far healthier hot chicken sausage.
