I have never seen chitterlings cooked that way. I am impressed with cooking them in red wine and 3 color bell peppers. I have also had them in California with white potato/jalepeno peppers/onions in just water. This looks more inviting. I am gonna try it for this New Years Eve. Thanks.
I have tried cooking Chitterlings with onions and jalepeno peppers with white potatoes to soak up the smell but I have never seen them cooked in Red Wine and 3 color Bell Pepper. It looks great I think I will have to try this version. Does the wine reduce the smell like the white potato does?
Good job cleanin'em. Just cleaning them right is a lost art. Also this is the first time I saw someone other than my mother and myself par boil chittlin's. It also helps the cleaning process, and gives them a clean taste. I could eat your chittlin's fo sho.
I can remember when I was like 7 or 8 yrs old, I had to help clean FRESH chittlins! From that day on, never would even taste them! And the smell....don't even want to discuss it. I will cook them and clean them only under two conditions. 1) when I have a really bad head cold 2) at your house only!
I am deaf so I cannot hear what you are saying, however you "wrinkles" look delicious. I wanted to know what is that red liquid from a bottle you are pouring all over the chitterlings? I hope you get back to me by tomorrow cuz tomorrow is Thanksgiving. Happy Holidays.
Although I don't eat them anymore, I cook them for my husband. I have always soaked them in vinegar and water overnight after cleaning. Can I still soak them and follow your way of cooking or will the vinegar and the port not mix well?
I do not eat these and I only cook them for my husband maybe once a year but I would jump at a chance to eat these. It takes me so long to clean these because I like to pick everything off of them. Even though I dont eat them I would not serve these to anyone uncleaned or not cleaned properly. You have done a great job with this.
I love your video. I agree not letting the tradition die, I love eatin Chittlins. I boil & rinse 2-3 times. Once they are fully cooked I drain and add chicken broth.
As I was watching your video I thought to myself that you would not be able to eat anyones chiitlins. I like the fact that you bowl and rinse at least 3 times. Most people do not do that. I will try your recipe for Thanksgiving. Thanks for putting the video together.
The foam is caused by coagulated proteins, you see something similar when making chicken stock. Have you ever tried to cook chitlins in a pressure cooker? It shaves 70% of the cook time off the process. Have you ever tried any other ways of preparing them? The French have a dish called Tricandilles, basically seasoned chitterlings grilled over an open fire made of dried grape vines. Koreans have something similar called Gopchang and gopchang jeongol, which is like a grilled chitlin stew.
i miss eatting like that my health dont allow me to eat that or pig feet anymore but that looks good not in bad health just that thats not healthy for your heart grew up on soul food let a lot go
I'm making a batch of chitlins right now following your recipe. They are on the stove cooking. And you're right the aroma is fantastic. I got a 5 pound red bucket and after cleaning they shrunk down to about a single serving.
My mouth is watering just watching this. I've cooked chitlins before myself but they never turned out like yours. I have stopped cooking them altogether though. I dont have the patience for it. I love to eat them though and would LOVE to try yours. You should open a restaurant.
@rosbergs3 It's so much work, and these are the one's they sell as pre-cleaned. It's a true labor of love. I tackle this once a year only, and I just can't eat ANYONE's chittlins. I wish I could open a restaurant.
I learned to clean and cook them from my mom and this is the exact we she taught me. She has a different recipe for cooking them i think i might try yours out.....O and she is from marango county in AL.
@durtidee I think you can add to them what you wish, but that first part of the video..... the cleaning is UNIVERSAL AND MANDATORY. This is me cleaning the ones they sale and label as clean - rinse and ready to cook. Be very careful.
@mom2gems Hey there. Those had a sweet taste to them. I've used white wine. You could use a beer if you wanted to. It merely adds flavor and makes the aroma divine.
(You) Just keep it poppin off, I look forward to learning something new everytime I plug in. u r outstanding, the way you deliver a message, with style, skill & grace, teaching and informing; showing some, and re-iterating to others how to make it pop, and never loose that power! Thanks for your dedication...
@laceelin You're welcome. I'm trying. I appreciate you for keeping up with the videos and your comments. I'll keep 'em coming. Be sure to keep watching.
Now, that's an interesting way to cook them. In response to the description box LOL, I just love to watch people cook, even if I know I will never eat it.
Hi JoAnn,you are so right. PLEASE DON'T LET THE TRADITION DIE. OUR ANCESTORS ATE THEM. MY FAMILY WERE SLAVES FROM LIBERIA AT THE RIVER FALLS PLANTATION SOUTH CAROLINA. OUR ANCESTORS ATE WHAT THEY HAD TO SURVIVE. AND WE MADE IT. THANK GOD.
@moonfairy777 I agree with not letting the tradition die, and I love eating Chitlins. I was just wondering how your ancestors were slaves from Liberia? Liberia is where freed slaves form the United States went BACK to Africa to form a nation. Some of those Freedmen did end up owning slaves as well. Are you descended from that group? Just wondering.
I boil mine for one hour first...and then pour the water off. Then I put the seasonings in them. Also, don't forget to sterilize your sink and kitchen area after cleaning.
@grethomory Chitterlings take hours to clean and prepare. I boil mine down 2 to 3 times with water. After they are cooked down I add the wine and veggies. This Christmas eve, I started at 3 am cleaning. Cleaned until about 5 am when I finished just one bag (That's the part one video that I edited and posted before I left for work). Cleaned the kitchen and myself and went to work. Got home after 6 pm and continued cleaning the next two bags. I was finished cooking just after midnight.
@belcollege Thanks. It doesn't matter. You can use a cooking wine or sherry or beer or white port. Just make sure that you boil the chittlins down with the water FIRST and make sure you do the boil and drain. Drain off all that nasty stuff until your water boils clean and clear. Then drain the water off and add wine and water combo and finish the cooking process.
@angeewells Thanks. Sometimes we must think outside of the box. The beauty of preparing any dish is that there are no rules. A chittlin is a chittlin out of the bag. How we prepare them sets us apart. They look delish and they are. Thanks for tuning in.
@desirim This is the way I prepare my chittlins. Between the vegetables and the wine I add they give the chittlins a nice flavor and bouquet. This is the only way I prepare mine.
Happy Holidays JoAnn! I have NEVER had a chittlin a day in my life and I must say that I would definitely try yours. My husband asks can you send him some?! He called you "The Chittlin' Queen". LOL! The people that we thought were clean aren' t really clean after seeing how you cleaned yours. They look really delicious and festive!
@success4me623 Happy Holidays. Glad to hear that you would try. Girl consider making some for your husband. "The Chittlin' Queen" lawd ha'mercy. LOL Girl, you can't eat everybody's chittlins. They are/were delicious.
LOL You clean and cook Chitterlings in the sameway as my Mom! I never eat anyones other that hers becasue she is just like you she cleans them until they squeek! BTW you are right it is becoming a lost art. My extended family is huge and my mother is the last of the old guard who can still make them. U have inspired me to help her next year so at least one of us will know how in the future! :)
@paynemelinda Oh yeah. You have to be careful and cautious when eating other people's chittlins. Cleaning and preparing this dish is so time consuming and takes up so much energy. If you enjoy them, you've got to learn to prepare them. I hope this video is helpful and that it will be around for years to come.
@BuddhalocksI know you do. Girl these chittlins were slammin'. You have got to put a good effort and energy into this process/recipe. Happy holidays to you.
I don't really eat chitlins maybe just nibble on one or two pieces..But you seem to prepare your with tender loving care. And I would love to taste if I was nearby you....
@secrets2keep You have to put your soul into the cleaning process. Long, hard work. It is truly a labor of love. You would be welcome to have a taste.
Wow... I always have said that those things will go extinct once my mom and aunts can't do it anymore. Because that is too much work... I applaud you all for doing that....you clean them very thoroughly....because I don't eat everybody's chitterlings.... I remember my mom being up through the night doing just that.... wow! Memories...
@doxwifey1999 I hope you decide to try it one day. Don't let the tradition go extinct. I love creating memories. I'm glad to be able to share this video with others.
@nikkiwowo37 Thank you. I better know how to clean and cook them. I look forward to having them once a year. I hope you get around to trying it next year.
OMG I should have known someone had made the chittlin video. Girl! Go head with your bad self. I love your hair videos, but this is off the chain!
