Chitterlings or Chitlins Stew
There are some recipes that are called Southern however, the Creole and Cajun culture in itself cooks different than the rest of the south. I believe this Chitterlings or Chitlins Stew recipe does the heritage justice.

Ingredients
- 20 lbs. Chitterlings cut

- 1-2 quart/s of water
- 2 tsp. salt
- 2 tsp. pepper
Other optional ingredients:

Instructions
- Clean and thoroughly wash the chitterlings by getting rid of the fat and dirt that is still left in the intestines.
- In a bowl, mix in the white vinegar and water and soak the chitterlings for about half an hour.
- After soaking, boil the chitterlings for about 5-10 minutes in a large pot. When you’re done boiling, drain water and proceed into cooking. (You can also clean the chitterlings using saline solution—water and salt— and then drain after several minutes.)
- Heat your pot with water over a medium-high flame and put the chitterlings.
- Add the ingredients such as garlic, onion, pepper, vinegar and salt. (You can also add the other optional ingredients at this point.)
- Cook for about 3-4 hours and serve with rice or cornbread with cooked greens.
