Equipment

  • 1 Saucepan

Ingredients

  • 1 pound Purple Hull Pea
  • ½ pound Okra
  • 1 Bell Pepper
  • 2  tablespoon Ghee
  • 1 pound Pork Neck bones
  • 4 cloves Garlic
  • 3 ribs Celery
  • 1 med Yellow Onion
  • 4 tablespoon Paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon All Spice
  • 2 whole Bay Leaves
  • Herbs 
  • 2 cups Chicken Stock
  • 1 cup Water
  • ¼ cup Vinegar

Instructions

  • Large saucepan with oil over medium heat. Brown the neck bones on both sides after adding them. Take out and place aside.
  • Add onions and sauce from 3 to 5 minutes. For a another minute, add the celery and garlic. 
    Add one-fourth of the spice mixture (paprika, all spice, salt, and pepper). Mix well.
  • Add a little more of the spice mixture along with the diced bell pepper. After cooking for 1–2 minutes, thoroughly combine with the okra.
  • Add extra seasoning along with the beans, fresh herbs, stock, and water. Re-add the neck bones to the saucepan after a thorough mixing. Everything should be brought to a boil before being covered and simmered. Depending on the texture you want, cook for 30 to 45 minutes.
  • Eliminate the stalks and herbs. Add the vinegar five minutes before finishing. 
    Stir, then plate.
