20 Down-Home Ozark Country Recipes
The food of the Ozarks reads like an homage to Midwest and Southern comfort cooking—a story of wild blackberry cobblers, succotash, fried okra and ice cream dotted with black walnuts.
War Eagle Bean Palace Pecan Cobbler
Using the beloved pecan pie as a guide, cooks for the restaurant at the top of War Eagle Mill near Rogers, Arkansas, fashioned this cobbler adding oat flour for a different flavor in the crust. This buttery crust actually layers in the middle of the syrupy filling, an escape from the usual cobbler crowned with topping. A generous measure of pecans adds crunch.
Another rich Ozark dessert: Warm Banana Cake with Butterscotch-Caramel Sauce, from James at the Mill restaurant in Johnson, Arkansas. The dessert is based on a recipe from restaurant owner Miles James' Ozark grandmother.
