PIG STOMACHS RECIPES

Steps:

• If not already done, remove inner lining from stomach and discard. (I buy my stomachs ready-to-use from the butcher or meat counter.).
• Rinse stomach well and place in bowl.
• Cover with 1 quart of water and 2 teaspoons salt.
• Let soak for 2 hours.
• Mix all remaining ingredients well.
• Drain and rinse stomach well.
• Fill stomach with stuffing.
• Sew openings and holes securely with cotton thread.
• Place stomach in roasting pan with water to cover the bottom of the pan.
• Bake at 350F for approximately 3 hours adding water as necessary to keep the bottom of the pan covered.
• Slice and serve with gravy made from pan drippings.

Steps:

• Rinse the pig stomach & pat dry. (It's gross, I know, but the flavor is worth it!)
• Toss all your chopped veggies (I do large chunks) in a mixing bowl & stir. Try to get as much casing off your smoked sausage as you can & then add that, crumbling it up as you're mixing. (You can use fresh ground sausage, if you prefer, but I love the smoked flavor!) Add the parsley & some fresh ground pepper. (I never salt this dish!)
• Stuff the stomach with the mixture, as best you can, making sure not to overfill it, in a large baking dish or Dutch Oven. Add the rest of the sausage mixture all around the stomach, but not on top of it.
• Add 1/2 cup of water (if I have left over beef or chicken broth, I use that instead of the water).
• Bake @ 350 for 2 hours, covered, and then 30 minutes uncovered. I usually add about another 1/2 cup of water after an hour or so. When it's finished, I take a fork & then cut the stomach open to get all the stuffing. I discard the stomach, but a lot of people cut into it & eat. (NOT me!) Enjoy!
