    ....so when you're gonna do some country cookin', say butterbeans, fieldpeas, etc. do you boil the fatback/strick-a-lean in water before you add the vegs? Thats how I learned it. How 'bout if theres not enough grease, ie fatback, after you add the beans/vegs? Can you add some more fatback (uncooked)?
    If so, how long would you boil the vegs?
    No BS, you gotta have some grease to flavor!

    Preboiling sounds like it'll work.
    I always fry it first, then put it and the grease in with the uncooked veggies and cook normal(e.g. collards)

    cut up the fatback in small pieces and render (crisp it up, letting out the grease). dunk the veggies in boiling water for 30 seconds and add to the grease.
