Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

2 meaty ham hocks
1 onion, peeled and quartered through root
3 garlic cloves, smashed
1 celery stalk, cut into 2-inch pieces
3 sprigs fresh thyme
1 bay leaf
1 jalapeno or serrano chile, intact with a split down 1 side
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
3 1/2 quarts water
1 pound small red potatoes, halved
2 pounds green beans, stem ends trimmed, halved crosswise

Steps:

Combine ham hocks, onion, garlic, celery, thyme, bay leaf, chile, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and the water in a large pot. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat, and simmer, uncovered, 1 hour 30 minutes.
Transfer ham hocks to a plate. Discard chile, and add potatoes to pot; simmer until just tender, 10 to 12 minutes.
When ham hocks are cool enough to handle, pull meat off bones (discard bones), shred into bite-size pieces, and return to pot. Add green beans, and return to a simmer. Cover, and cook until beans are just tender, about 8 minutes. Season with pepper. Serve vegetables and meat with a slotted spoon; reserve broth for another use. If storing leftovers, store in broth.

I make this dish often; I have never really measured the ingredients, but can give you a reasonable approximation. Note: Freeze leftover cooking liquid, and then add to bean soup, ham or cabbage dishes, or use to cook dumplings in. It's delicious!

NEW POTATOES, GREEN BEANS AND HAM

New Potatoes, Green Beans and Ham image

This recipe was given to me by my Mother-in-law who raised 9 children and taught school for 40 years and didn't have much time to cook. It remains a family favorite with my children. Last night I had no broth, so I mixed Lipton's Garlic and Herb soup (1 packet) and 4 cups of water and it was wonderful, really added richness to the broth.

Time 8h15m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

8 red potatoes, scrubbed and halved
1 (16 ounce) package frozen green beans (or fresh)
1 large onion, cut into about eight wedges
2 cups ham, cut into bite sized pieces
vegetable broth or chicken broth
salt and pepper

Steps:

I cook this in a crockpot all day, but may be cooked in a dutch oven on the stove, also.
Add all the ingredients and cover, cook on low for 8 to 10 hours.
If cooking on the stove you may need more broth, but the crockpot makes broth as it cooks, so you shouldn't need any more.
Use your own judgement on the amount of broth.
Serve with fresh, sliced tomatoes and corn bread for a great Southern meal.

Tips:

Choose the right ham hocks. Look for smoked ham hocks that are meaty and have a good amount of fat. Avoid ham hocks that are too lean, as they will not produce as much flavor.
Soak the ham hocks before cooking. This will help to remove some of the salt and smoke flavor, and it will also help to tenderize the meat.
Use a large pot. You will need a large pot to accommodate the ham hocks, potatoes, green beans, and pot likker. A Dutch oven is a good option.
Add plenty of water. The ham hocks should be covered with water when they are cooking. This will help to keep them moist and prevent them from drying out.
Season the pot likker to taste. The pot likker is the flavorful liquid that is left after the ham hocks, potatoes, and green beans have been cooked. Season the pot likker with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.

Conclusion:

Ham hocks with new potatoes, green beans, and pot likker is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The ham hocks provide a smoky flavor, the potatoes and green beans add heartiness, and the pot likker is a flavorful sauce that can be used to spoon over the meat and vegetables. This dish is sure to become a family favorite.
