Down in the Southern U.S, which is where I was born and raised, you’re mostly going to see it fried.

But, it can also be be stewed nicely with tomatoes (click for awesome recipe).

But the simplicity of this dish, cooked over high heat in a large skillet with oil, garlic and a few seasonings…make this amazing.



Serve it with your favorite dishes such as chicken fried steak, smothered pork chops, or country-style ribs!
