Pinto Beans And Ham Hocks
From "Soul Food Recipes Learned On A North Carolina
Tobacco Farm" by Willie Crawford
Ingredients:
3 smoked ham hocks
2 lbs. dried pinto beans
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper 1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoon hot sauce
1/2 medium chopped onion
Directions:
Boil ham hocks on high heat for 45 minutes. Add all seasonings except hot sauce and onion. Continue boiling for 20 minutes. Add pinto beans, hot sauce, and onion. Boil on medium heat until beans are done to taste.
Note: To speed up cooking of beans and reduce the gas beans produce, soak beans in cold water overnight or for three hours during the day.
Serve with rice and a meat side dish. You can also use the ham hocks as your meat side dish. However, ham hocks are a high-fat food with not that much meat (mostly skin).
