The thing that gets me about this stuff is its "all natural", in that it is smoke from smouldering wood (usually hickory and ash) which is condensed down into concentrate and then diluted with vinegar, water, and other flavors. So basically you are taking all the tars and nitrites and heterocyclic amines (HCAs, the supposed cancer-causeing nasties that develop when you grill meat) that develop in wood smoke, and eating them! YUM. A great article on liquid smoke is at the website of the Kansas City Barbeque Society (and who would know better?): http://www.kcbs.us/features/remus_powers/july_2006.php

quote: I want to be invited to have dinner with Rosa [8\|]. ME TOO! Yummmmm. I actually use smoked turkey legs in my "health concious" greens. But...if you have some andouille sausage...put a pound or so at the bottom of a big sauce pot. Saute the sausage and some onions (pronounced ON youngs, if you are gettin' right) in a bit of bacon grease (or just the fat in the sausage), then add about a pound of carefully washed collards, maybe 1/2 pound of mustard and turnip greens (whatevah ya have, honey!), saffron, a touch of Loosiana hot sauce, and cook it until it tastes just like a little bit of heaven. mmmmmmmm. My clever philistine of a daughter (who is also a dynamite cook) invented collard green pesto one day when her mom (a great lady, not so great a cook) came home with 2 lbs of collards by mistake (she thought they were spinach greens). It is amazingly good -- better than a pure traditional pesto! I think its because somewhere in our family we had Deep Southern roots....south of Paloma, that would be. Laissez les bon temps roullez!

agirl, I think they were talking about bouillon cubes... "a small compressed cube of dehydrated beef, chicken, or vegetable stock. " And Rosa, thank you [:)].

Kidding, yes it is a form of dry meat stock. sort of what you would buy as a broth beef, chicken, pork or some other stock, but dehydrated and removed of most of the calories of fats and such, some other additives are in it. Tthere are a mulititude of varieties and you have try till you find one that suits your taste buds, but I've used the Goya brand (preferably the powdered verision) for many moons (years) They also carry a vegitable version. Its not something I use all the time, but with collards, it adds a wonderful flavor. agirl, I think they were talking about bouillon cubes...

I like fresh collards (right after the first cold snap) seasoned w/ pork chops and some seasonings.... yummmmmmm yummmmmmmmmmmm (I do think this is an aquired taste though, never used to like it before 15 yrs ago)

Bearlee -> RE: collards (8/28/2006 3:34:54 PM)
I'm not at all sure about what ya'all think bouillon cubes are; have you ever read what they're made of? They're more chemicals than 'stock', actually. And TONS of salt!!! <shudders> Wayyyyyyyyy better to make you're own...and easy, too! Really... beverly
