Louisiana Caldo for #SundaySupper

Louisiana Caldo: Mustard Greens & Pickled Pork 

What is Louisiana Caldo?

Louisiana Caldo is a thick, nourishing soup that is traditional to the Isleños… settlers of St. Bernard Parish (outside of New Orleans proper) who came from the Canary Islands over 200 years ago.

It’s not a gumbo, yet it is thick, hearty and nutritious.

Are There Other Kinds of Caldo?

Absolutely.

I regularly ate caldo de res (we’ll read about that in a minute) when I was in the seminary in Mexico.

But, here, locally in New Orleans, there are other types of caldo too. Caldo Verde, in particular. But that is of Portuguese descent, and it is somewhat different.

Mustard Greens

Mustard greens are so called because they are a spicy green. They are peppery. Some folks like to eat the young leaves raw. When the leaves are older, it is best to cook them. Other variations of greens include Turnip greens and Collard greens.

As a child, I remember my paternal grandfather cooking greens on a regular basis. I think he just sautéed them on the stove with onions and garlic. He probably sautéed them in butter or bacon grease. He was a good Cajun foodie, after all. But I hated the smell, and I refused to taste them.

Boy, was I dumb!

“There are no quotes about mustard greens from famous people. I know. I googled it.” – Jeff Young, The Catholic Foodie

No famous quotes. It’s disappointing. Nothing from Mark Bittman. Nothing from The Joy of Cooking. Nothing. I should have gotten a good quote from my grandfather. But I was like 7, so what did I know?

Since there are no famous quotes about mustard greens, it seems to me that we folks here in Louisiana have the market on the goodness that is mustard greens. Maybe I should start a new website: CatholicMustardGreens.com. 😉

Just kidding.

But, seriously, no famous people saying anything about the goodness of mustard greens? Come on! Mustard greens are GOOD!!!!

Pickled Pork

Now we turn our attention to that lesser known “cut” of pork known as pickled pork.

OK. I’m kidding here too.

However…

“Like so many delicious Southern culinary traditions, the use of both ham hocks and pickled pork came to be as a result of hard times.

“While the wealthy viewed knobby, gelatinous ham hocks as undesirable, laborers in the fields and cities gladly used the marrow-rich bones and meat to flavor and enhance the beans, vegetables and broths they fed their families. Hocks were often smoked; other bits and scraps were often pickled in a brine of water, salt, sugar, vinegar, and herbs or spices. Both preparations served to enhance flavor while preserving shelf life.

“Southerners have come to a universal appreciation for the richness of flavor and mineral-rich nutrition that these “seasoning meats” and bones impart at a thrifty cost. The practice of including some form of smoked or pickled pork as a flavoring agent continues today with many iconic Southern dishes—red, white and lima beans; field and blackeye peas; collard, mustard and turnip greens; and all manner of stewed vegetables.” – CamilliaBrand.com

Pickled pork?

Yes! Ain’t no flavor like it anywhere.

Caldo de Res: My First Exposure

The first time I had caldo of any sort I was a seminarian living in Mexico with the Missionaries of Charity Fathers, co-founded by Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta. It was caldo de res, beef stew. And it was delicious!

I had many delicious soups during my two years in formation with the Missionaries of Charity… including Pig Snout Soup and Fish Head Soup. But that’s a story for another time. 😉

I would like to thank Chef John Besh and My New Orleans for the inspiration behind this particular recipe. C’est ce bon!

Louisiana Caldo for #SundaySupper
Author: Jeff Young
Cuisine: Southern, Creole
Recipe type: Soup
Ingredients
  • ¼ cup coconut oil
  • 2 large sweet yellow onions, diced
  • 2 green bell peppers, diced
  • 4 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 2 lbs pickled pork (or more if you use bone-in)
  • 2 cups of lima beans
  • 1 bunch mustard greens, chopped
  • 1 cup fresh whole tomatoes, diced
  • 1 cup corn (I prefer frozen kernels over canned)
  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 2 cups fresh green beans, chopped
  • 1½ gallon beef stock
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne, or to taste
  • ½ teaspoon allspice
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
  1. Heat coconut oil over medium-high heat in large heavy-bottomed stainless steel soup or stock pot. Add the onions and bell peppers and sauté until soft, about 12 to 15 minutes. Stir in the garlic at the 10 minute mark.
  2. Add the pork, the sweet potatoes, the lima beans, the mustard greens, the corn, the green beans, and the tomatoes. Stir well.
  3. Add the beef stock, the cayenne, the allspice, and the bay leaves. Increase heat and bring to a boil. Then reduce heat to low and simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours, until all the vegetables and the pork are tender.
  4. Taste for seasoning and adjust as necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or cayenne. If you used pickled pork that contained bones, then you will want to fish out all the pieces and debone them, returning the meat to the pot.
Notes
Serve in bowls.

Crusty French bread is delightful when served hot with this caldo.

    Your first quote made me laugh out loud so thanks for that! I’ve got to admit that I have never heard of Louisiana caldo despite being from New Iberia originally. But I love, love, love mustard greens, especially cooked with garlic and bacon. And you can quote me on that!

    I’m from the Isleño community of St. Bernard Parish (descendants of Canary Islands, Spain) and my grandmother and mother made caldo on a regular basis. It was similar to this recipe, but with a few differences. Compared to this recipe, there was white beans instead of Lima beans, corn on the cob instead of corn kernels, no allspice, and there was cabbage, white potatoes, celery and carrots in it as well as the ingredients in this recipe. There was pickled pork in it most of the time. But sometimes my grandma added some smoked sausage too and if she didn’t have pickled pork, she used ham chunks and even a ham bone (advanced stages of caldo lol). But pickled pork is alone traditional. Caldo Isleño is a delicious contribution to Louisiana cuisine from Louisiana’s Spanish heritage.
