Scrapple
3 cup pork organ meat or trimmings
- cooked and ground
3 cup water
2 cup cornmeal
1 tablespoon crushed hot red pepper
1 tablespoon sage
1 teaspoon thyme
1 tablespoon salt, more or less
2 teaspoon pepper
Bring the water to a boil. Add pork and simmer 5 min. Add cornmeal
and stir until smooth. Add rest of ingredients (you may want to
halve everything but the sage - but I like a very spicy scrapple)
and cook over low heat (I used the oven, actually) until very thick,
stirring once in awhile so it doesn't scorch.
Turn out into a greased casserole and chill. When it's cold, slice
into 1/3 to 1/2" slices and fry in a little oil or fat over low
heat until crispy on both sides, turning once. I used rendered
suet to fry it once, and it was GREAT! but the next time I decided
to be a good boy and fried it on a Pam-sprayed skillet, and it was okay.
