Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Season pork shoulder with salt and pepper. Brown on both sides in olive or peanut oil in heavy cast iron skillet. When browned, remove from heat. Place in large Dutch oven along with navy beans, fat back, bacon (left in strips), ham hocks, onions, fresh thyme, bay leaves and 5 cups ham broth.
  2. Bring to a simmer. Cover tightly. Place in a preheated 325 degree F oven for 2 hours 15 minutes.
  3. When it comes out of the oven, remove the shoulder and set aside to cool. Remove half of the liquid and set aside. Pour white beans into a shallow container and set aside to cool. (It is critical to cool the beans and liquid separately so the beans do not overcook and become too starchy.) Once the shoulder is cool enough to handle, shred meat from bone and coarsely chop it. De-bone and shred ham hock. Mix ham hock meat and shoulder meat. Add white beans. (This should be done while ingredients are still warm.) Taste and season accordingly. Set aside

Place sliced grilled pork leg and pork chop on top of cornbread. Toss micro mustard greens in vinaigrette and place on the top of the dish. Sprinkle chow chow around the dish.
  8. Ham Broth:
  9. Rinse trimmings in cold water. Brown trimmings in a preheated 400 degree oven for 30 minutes. Place the browned trimmings in a large stockpot. Add carrots, celery, onions, garlic, bay leaves and ham hocks. Add water to cover. Simmer for 4 hours. Strain, cool and reserve.
  10. Crawfish Cornbread:

Season with salt, pepper and cayenne pepper. In a mixing bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, baking powder and eggs. Season with salt, pepper and cayenne pepper. Add buttermilk. Immediately pour hot peanut oil, crawfish and bacon into cornmeal mixture. Stir well. Reheat skillet. When hot, add cornmeal mixture and immediately place in 350 degree oven for 40 minutes.
  12. Braised Mustard Greens:
