Provided by Foodiewife

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 cups dried pinto beans
1 whole smoked ham hock (or shank)
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 whole onion, diced
2 teaspoons chili powder
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 tsp. cumin (optional)

Steps:

  • Rinse the beans under cold water, sorting out any rocks or particles. Place the beans in a stockpot with the ham hock and cover with water by 2 inches. Bring to a boil, and then reduce to a simmer. Cover the pot and simmer for 2 hours, checking occasionally to make sure the water level is fine. Add more water as needed. Remove the ham hock and remove the meat from the bone. Chop and set aside, discarding any cartilage or extra fat. Throw in the garlic, red bell peppers and onions. Add the chili powder, black pepper, and salt (or more to taste. Cover and continue cooking for another hour or two, remembering to check the water level. Cook until the beans are lovely and tender, another 20 to 30 minutes. Add the shredded ham hock back to the beans. The liquid should be very thick and stew-like, not thin like a soup. Give one final taste, and adjust any seasonings to your liking. TASTING NOTES: Serve with hot sauce, or add 1 finely chopped jalapeno towards the last 20-30 minutes of cooking, if you want a lot more heat!

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender green beans: Select beans that are bright green in color and have no blemishes or bruises.
  • Trim the green beans: Remove the ends of the beans and any tough strings.
  • Parboil the green beans: This step is optional but recommended to help the beans cook evenly and retain their color. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the green beans. Cook for 3-4 minutes, then drain and rinse with cold water.
  • Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet: This will help the beans develop a nice crust and prevent them from sticking.
  • Cook the green beans over medium-high heat: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming mushy.
  • Stir the green beans frequently: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
  • Season the green beans with salt and pepper: You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Serve the green beans hot: They can be served as a side dish or main course.
