Best way to cook hog jowl?

That's the way I always heard it done..

Always been told it was JUST like bacon, so you did well.. =D

Black eyed peas, brown rice and fried hog jowl.

Dang, you're gonna make me break out the black eyed peas, mixed greens, and cornbread!

We're having pork, blackeyed peas, collard greens, and corn bread.

Good to know some of us Southerners are on here.

It's a lot more crispy than bacon....yet nice and thick and full of delicious fat. It's like bacon on steroids.

Wow that sounds gross. I think i might vomit at the thought

confit in liquified pork lard & rosemary. (quicker than bacon)
as a vegetarian i win.
put it on a burger cheese and a pickled and i win more, i swear.

kill hog first

do yourself a favour and become a raw foodist

Mind your own damn business Canada! If you're not eatin' it, why are you worried about it?

push it face-first into a bonfire
.

LOL! Turkey bacon has a lot more flavor and 95% less fat. It seasons beans like you wouldn't believe, and a lot better than...pork cheeks! ugh...

Love the earthy taste of the black eyed peas.

Don't add salt, it has plenty. Us southern folk love this stuff, or this one does....

Yup....I could eat black eyed peas and cornbread almost every day. Don't forget the rice.

i eat it raw...

sometimes right off the pig.

My advice is not at all, but if you do feed invite a bunch of jews and muslims over and put it in their stew.

Then it becomes Hoppin John, best stuff ever....

Somehow, the idea of eating jowls doesn't set very well with my stomach.

How to cook Hog Jowl

1) Use a cutting board to cut up the hog jowl
2) Clean cutting board
3) Cook Hog Jowl
4) Throw the Hog Jowl away and eat the cutting board

That sounds fucking disgusting.

It's delicious. You most recipes call to treat it like bacon. It's very similar.
But what's with all the haters? Is that part of the pig meant to go to waste because it doesn't suit your taste? Yeesh.

Sans that first "you", of course.

OMG! it's alive

I bought some and trying to remember how an aunt did it. I'm thinking boil a little? then put in oven and cook. Or maybe wash it and then put in oven (let it good and crispy)....she made the best. Does this sound right to anyone, ideas?

why cook it? put it into a blender, liquify it and inject the saturated fat directly into your arteries....

Best way is to pan fry in the oven....goes good with any kind of beans. Also makes a great topping for potato soup with a little cheese
