SQUASH AND ONIONS

INGREDIENTS:

 

5 yellow squash, thinly sliced
3 medium onions, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons fatback grease
2 teaspoons Kosher or Sea salt or 1 teaspoon Morton table salt (to taste)
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black peppercorns (Tellicherry) (to taste)
1 cup water
2 teaspoons sugar

In a medium sauce pot, add all the above ingredients bringing to a boil and reduce heat to low and simmer covered until squash and onions are tender and liquid is absorbed which will take about 20 minutes.  If too much liquid remains after squash and onions are done, remove lid and simmer uncovered stirring constantly to keep from sticking and burning allowing excess liquid to evaporate.  Serve with a side of fried pork chops, fried chicken, Chicken Fried Steak or pork loin roast, steamed corn on the cob and fried cornbread.

Recipe from Joyce Porter aka "My Bride".  We have used this simple for over 40 years.  The fatback grease is what gives this recipe it's wonderful distinctive flavor.
