Easter Weekend Recipe Resurrection

It must suck to be an actual practicing Catholic during Holy Week. While there are zillions of time honored, piously meatless recipes in circulation, I can never resist the temptation to finish them off with soul corrupting quantities of delicious delicious pork flesh. Last year, on Good Friday, I made this gumbo z'herbes which seems pretty traditional except for all the hamhocks and pork seasoning I stuffed in there.

Bonus un-veggied food porn: Last night, I tossed some pasta, green beans, and carrots in a bagna cauda. Typically, bagna cauda is meant for vegetables but, as you can see here, I couldn't help throwing more pork at it. It's okay, though, because it's green onion sausage.
