Southern Comfort Recipes

Six soul-warming recipes — all made with clean fats, no seed oils, and generations of Southern pride.

Braised Short Ribs in Red Wine

Braised Short Ribs in Red Wine

Bone-in beef short ribs braised low and slow in red wine with aromatics until the meat falls off the bone in silky, richly sauced perfection. The ultimate Southern Sunday dinner.

⏱ 3 hrs 30 min 🍽 Serves 4

Ingredients

  • 4 lb bone-in beef short ribs

Smothered Pork Chops

Smothered Pork Chops

Thick bone-in pork chops pan-fried and then blanketed in a deeply savory onion-mushroom gravy and slowly smothered until meltingly tender. True Southern soul food, plate-licking good.

Black-Eyed Pea and Collard Green Soup

Black-Eyed Pea & Collard Green Soup

Cast-Iron Skillet Cornbread

Cast-Iron Skillet Cornbread

Real Southern cornbread — savory, slightly crispy-edged from a screaming-hot cast-iron skillet, made with stone-ground cornmeal, buttermilk, and lard. Not sweet. Not cake. Perfection.

⏱ 35 min 🍽 Serves 8

Ingredients

  • 2 cups stone-ground yellow cornmeal
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda

  2. Whisk cornmeal, baking powder, soda, salt. In another bowl, whisk eggs, buttermilk, melted lard. Combine; do not overmix.
  3. Remove hot skillet; add a tbsp of lard to coat bottom (it will smoke). Immediately pour in batter. Return to oven; bake 20–22 min until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean. Invert onto board; serve warm with butter.

Ripe, juicy peaches baked under a buttery biscuit-style topping with brown sugar and cinnamon — the crown jewel of Southern summer desserts, served warm with a scoop of cream.

⏱ 55 min 🍽 Serves 8
