Poke Salad(East Texas Style) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

poke salad
1/2 c. bacon drippings
1/2 c. water
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. black pepper

Preparation

Gather poke salad (about 3/4 of a grocery bag full), wash at least 3 times, then place in large vessel and cover with water. Bring to a boil and
cook a few minutes; drain and repeat the process.
(Boiling and draining twice is very important!)
After draining the second time, place in a large skillet with bacon grease, water and salt. Cook 30 to 40 minutes over low heat. Boiled eggs and/or green onions may be added, if desired.
