Picked up a smoked ponce from kirchners today. What do I do with it?
I seem to remember something about making rice and gravy from it. Help me out.

If it needs to be cooked.....

-first, put a thin layer of oil in your pot and brown both sides of the ponce until a nice golden brown (usually 20 min or so)... Browning the meat is what makes your gravy.

-next, take ponce out of pot. Throw in your onions, bellpeppers and whichever other veggies you want to use. Brown those for 20 mins or so (until softened and well browned).

-once everything is browned, put ponce back in pot and fill pot about halfway with water and put fire on med- med/hi... Allow to cook for around 3 hours. I usually cut mine in half when there's about a half hour left so some of that meat falls into the gravy.

Cook it like you do any other rice n gravy.. brown the ponce and veggies really well then add water.. cook 2-3 hours on medium heat once you add water. Once it's done, take it out and slice it up in 1/2" slices and enjoy.

Where's it from?

And be sure to PM count chocula for a plate... it's his favorite.


If you like the ponce, do yourself a favor and drive to teets in vp for their jalapeño cheese version. It's frickin great.

You don't sound like you own a black pot.
I put my pot in the oven for that last hour of cooking. It's basically a big arse smoked sausage. Grew up on it

Bookmarked. If the Russians invade and wipe out everything edible except ponce and dried skunk meat I'll need a recipe after I've exhausted my skunk supply.

make sure to poke it often so that it doesn't bust

THIS!

I forgot to poke one with a fork once, and it popped. Made a huge mess.

After the rice and gravy, a ponce sandwich with white bread and mayonnaise is a great leftover treat!

The sandwich is the best part of a ponce. The rice and gravy is good but that sandwich...

ditto others cooking suggestions, especially the "poke"

brown, caramelized onions, cook slow and low

Didn't take pics, but that's exactly how it turned out.
Browned it in oil, added some trinity, cooked that down pretty hard. Added some garlic and about 2 tablespoons flour, quart of chicken stock. In the oven at 350 for 90 mins. Pulled the ponce and sliced. Took two big slices and chopped that up pretty good and added that back to the gravy.
It was delicious. I tried to trick my wife into eating it, told her it was meat loaf. she refused. More for me, I guess.
