Haven't had this in ages. Some good! Now that Mom is gone I'm going to surprise my father with a delicious feed of hodge podge

I was born and raised in the Valley and Hodge Podge was a summer staple on our table as a family of 10! It still is. After it was cooked, all liquid was drained off and the cream & butter was the only liquid on it, all we added was salt & pepper. We like fried ham along side ours as it adds a lot of flavour to the meal but it is definitely delicious on its own. Your dish looks amazing to me and I like the idea of the chicken broth. I think I’ll try boiling my vegetables in it next time for the added depth of flavour. I might even add some onion as others suggested. How bad could that be? 😂 Thanks for sharing and bringing our local dish to the world!

We just "snap" the beans in two. We even call it "snapping" beans." My mother prepared Hodge Podge with much more cream. It was like a vegetable chowder. Just the way it was done in her family. The "boiling" water was poured off, then the cream and butter added.

We did that too just the cream and seasoning but putting a lid on it when finished put it in the fridge till the next day then very gently reheat, it tastes even better if you can believe that and I grow my own vegetables I used yellow beets in it but no yellow beans I also added small kohlrabi and small onions. The men liked it better when I cooked bacon and topped it with it after slowly rewarming it. I only made mustard beans with the yellow beans for the winter. I love hodge podge.

In my family we've always cut the potato into smaller pieces. Otherwise very similar. It's a treat.

It sure is! Either way you slice it (get it :-)) It is one of my favorite dishes. It just screams farm fresh.

The botanical name of the Yellow Wax bean is Phaseolus vulgaris and it is a member of the Fabaceae family. “Wax” is a terminology from New England that refers to any yellow bean regardless of how waxy it actually is. I usually just cut the greens and yellows the same. I also add fresh peaches and cream corn along with a lot of snow peas, sooo good. I will have to try the chicken stock it sounds like an awesome add. ALL THE BEST…

@BMacN-kw7rn Ай бұрын

If want another flavour level, try adding some lamb stew meat. Brown it well first and add it when you add the carrots. I know it’s not traditional recipes for hodgepodge but you’ll never go back once you try it. Make lots because it’s even better the next day.

Awesome chef, we are from south west Nova Scotia and Lately we have been smoking scallops and searing them hard in butter and then making a rue with the renderings and then adding cream, salt and pepper. All the while the vegetables are boiling in salt water, then they are drained and added to the cream sauce. Then supper is served and a few scallops are added to each bowl. The scallops are only cooked to rare or medium rare if possible.

@ChefMikeMoses 2 ай бұрын

WOW that sounds delicious. Kudos on the rare scallops.

I love a good feed of hodgepodge. I make it the same as you but no chicken stock, I drain all the boiling water off add lots of cream, a little milk and butter. Also add salt and lots of pepper. Top it off with fresh baked bead with molasses. Hmmm!

My mother in law would sit on the deck and prepare the produce from our garden and would love to do it. Relaxing she said. I had a mess of green beans that needed cutting and she wanted to do it. I told her what I wanted done. I did not speak Hungarian and she didn’t speak English. When she gave me the finished beans she only took the one end off and left the little curly end. I asked why and she said because it wasn’t hurting anything and didn’t change the taste like the stem would. I now do the same but I don’t cut them until they are cooked.

@ChefMikeMoses 4 ай бұрын

My wife is the same way, she could clean a whole bushel of green beans. It's go to be therapy :-).

When I make it, I crisp up some bacon to crumble on top.

Great hearty meal, especially on winter days. Small potatoes, carrots, onions, green beans, yellow wax beans all cooked together. Drain off the water, add milk or cream. Some people add bites of ham or cook a ham bone with the veggies.

@jillglinert1711 8 ай бұрын

Brittlewax is the actual name. The light yellow colored bean is considered to have a waxy texture when canned. Great Hodgepodge recipe. I usually add a. 1/2 teaspoon od shaved red onion on top just before serving.

Though I live alone I like to cook big and freeze. What can be done with the leftovers? Freeze? Just in the fridge (up to how many days)? Thanks for the recipe.

@ChefMikeMoses Ай бұрын

Hi there, you can put in fridge for up to 2 days with the dairy. If you want to freeze, keep dairy out, and freeze, then when you thaw and reheat add dairy then. Enjoy. :-)

@@ChefMikeMoses Thanks so much for getting back to me. I was raised on "meat and potatoes" with the odd vegetable thrown in. Most vegetables I don't like but everything in your recipe I do eat so can't wait to try. Many thanks again.

@wesbaxter1857 Ай бұрын

Chicken stock is blasphemous in my opinion but I understand the impulse to add depth of flavour but I think buttery cream is worth the indulgence . I prefer to cook all veg in well salted water till just done, then drain, add light coffee blend to nearly cover and a generous chunk of butter and bring to a simmer only, never boil. Done. Like you, I like a lot of potatoes to smash and soak up all that buttery creamy goodness! We are making some today!
