Hog Maw

Description

Hog Maw translates to Pig Stomach. Grew up with it and I’m still alive and I love this meal. Good Pennsylvania dish.

Ingredients

  • 4 baking potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 large pork stomach
  • 1 ½ pounds bulk pork sausage
  • 1 medium head cabbage, separated into leaves and rinsed
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place the potatoes into a large pan with enough lightly salted water to cover them. Bring to a boil
  2. and cook until tender
  3. about 10 minutes. Drain and let cool.
  4. Wash the pork stomach thoroughly in cold water. Alternate stuffing the pork stomach with potatoes
  5. sausage
  6. and cabbage
  7. seasoning with a little salt and pepper
  8. until the stomach is full. Try to make even layers
  9. imagining how it will look when it is done and you slice it. Fold closed
  10. and place in a shallow roasting pan. If you have any leftover stuffing ingredients
  11. just place them in the pan around the outside.
  12. Roast uncovered for 40 to 50 minutes in the preheated oven
  13. until the sausage is cooked through and the stomach is browned and crispy. When done
  14. slice into 2 inch slices and serve piping hot. You can make gravy out of the drippings if desired
  15. but it is good by itself as a whole meal.
