This is a recipe that I originally learned from a true coona** in the 80's and it was his families from Baton Rouge. Prep time depends on how much you drink in the beginning.. But this shouldn't effect the taste if you follow the directions. This recipe can be altered to make either more or less of the dish, But make sure you figure it out accordingly.
