PORTUGUESE HAM HOCK AND CABBAGE STEW



Portuguese Ham Hock and Cabbage Stew image

Our next door neighbor was Portugese and married to man from Spain. She made this frequently for us. She cooked it really slow and it is delicious. Spoke to my mom and she said that the original was made with regular, non-smoked hocks.

Provided by ChefRed

Categories     Stew

Time 2h15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups chopped onions
2 (8 ounce) cans chickpeas
7 garlic cloves
4 cups savoy cabbage, julienned
2 lbs smoked ham hocks
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
7 cups chicken stock
2 cups cooked white rice
1 tablespoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Combine the oil ,garlic, onion over medium heat until light golden color. Add the cabbage and continue to saute for 2 minutes. Add the ham hocks, drained chickpeas and salt. Continue to stir for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the stock . Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium to low. Cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 2 1/2 hours. Skim off any fat that rises to the surface.
  • You can substitute good bacon instead of hocks if you'd like. You can also add some white potatoes. I've even made it without any meat at all. Don't substitue Savoy cabbage for any other. Recipe needs this kind.
  • Cook 1 cup white rice separately in a pot filled with at least 4 cups water until done.Should look like soup. Drain rice, scoop out and place in stew.

HAM HOCK AND WHITE BEAN STEW



Ham Hock and White Bean Stew image

If you can't find corona or gigante beans for this stew, use smaller white ones like cannellini. Keep in mind that they'll cook a lot faster, so give the ham a 30-minute head start.

Provided by Claire Saffitz

Categories     Bon Appétit     Dinner     Stew     Soup/Stew     Ham     Pork     Bean     Garlic     White Wine     Wine     Thyme     Mustard     Shallot     Winter

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

Frizzled shallots:
3 medium shallots, thinly sliced into rings
1/2 cup vegetable oil
Kosher salt
Honey-Mustard Cream:
1/2 cup sour cream
3 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
1 1/2 tsp. honey
Freshly ground black pepper
Stew and assembly:
3 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
2 medium onions, halved through root ends
2 heads of garlic, halved crosswise
2 small carrots, trimmed, scrubbed
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 1/2 lb. smoked ham hocks (about 4 medium)
1 bunch of thyme, stems tied together with kitchen twine
2 cups corona or gigante beans, soaked overnight, drained
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
Chopped cornichons and/or dill sprigs (for serving; optional)

Steps:

  • Frizzled Shallots:
  • Heat shallots and oil in a small saucepan over medium, swirling often, until shallots are deep golden brown, 6-8 minutes. Pour into a fine-mesh sieve set over a heatproof measuring glass. Give sieve a good shake, then spread out shallots on a paper towel to drain. Season with salt; let cool.
  • Honey-Mustard Cream:
  • Stir sour cream, mustard, and honey in a small bowl until smooth; season with pepper. Cover and chill.
  • Stew and assembly:
  • Heat oil in a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot over medium-high. Cook onions and garlic, cut side down, and carrots, turning carrots occasionally, until cut sides of onions and garlic are golden, about 4 minutes. Add wine, stirring to release any bits stuck on bottom of pot, and cook until reduced by two-thirds, about 2 minutes. Add ham hocks, thyme, beans, and 9 cups water. Season with several pinches of salt and lots of pepper and bring to a simmer. Cover with a lid, leaving slightly askew so steam can escape, and cook, adjusting heat to maintain a very gentle simmer and skimming foam from surface as needed, until beans are tender and creamy and broth is very flavorful, 2-2 1/2 hours.
  • Remove pot from heat and transfer ham hocks to a cutting board. Let sit until cool enough to handle, then pull meat from bones and tear into bite-size pieces; discard fat, skin, and cartilage. Add meat and knuckle bones back to pot as you go. Let stew cool uncovered until no longer steaming. Cover pot and chill stew at least 12 hours (you can skip this step, but it will dramatically improve the flavor).
  • Gently reheat stew, covered, until barely simmering. Pluck out and discard bones, thyme, and garlic heads (don't worry about any cloves that may have escaped into stew). Season with more salt and pepper if needed. Ladle into bowls and serve with Frizzled Shallots, Honey-Mustard Cream, cornichons, and/or dill as desired.
  • Do Ahead
  • Cream can be made 2 days ahead. Keep chilled. Stew can be made 3 days ahead. Keep chilled.

RED BEANS AND BARLEY W/ HAM SLOW COOKER STEW



Red Beans and Barley W/ Ham Slow Cooker Stew image

Make and share this Red Beans and Barley W/ Ham Slow Cooker Stew recipe from Food.com.

Provided by marisa.johnson

Categories     Beans

Time 8h15m

Yield 2 quarts, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup barley, uncooked
3 (15 ounce) cans red kidney beans, undrained
4 cups low sodium chicken broth
2 -3 garlic cloves, minced
1 small onion, chopped
1 cup cooked ham, diced
1 ham bone
1 cup bell pepper, chopped
1 celery rib, chopped
1 tablespoon cajun seasoning
2 bay leaves
2 dried hot chili peppers

Steps:

  • Toss it in the crock pot all day. Cook 4 -5 on high and then drop it down another 4 at least on low.
  • Take out the bay leaves and the chile peppers. It's better a day or two later.

Tips for Making the Best Ham Stew:

  • Choose the right type of ham: Ham hocks or smoked ham are great options, as they add a rich flavor to the stew.
  • Soak the ham: Soaking the ham before cooking helps to remove excess salt and adds moisture.
  • Brown the ham: Browning the ham before adding it to the stew caramelizes the outside and adds depth of flavor.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Vegetables like carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes are classic additions to ham stew, but feel free to add your favorites.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: Make sure there is enough liquid in the pot to cover the ham and vegetables, but don't overcrowd it, as this can prevent the stew from cooking evenly.
  • Simmer gently: Ham stew should be simmered gently for at least 1 hour, or until the ham is fall-off-the-bone tender.
  • Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste before serving.

Conclusion:
