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.

HAM AND BEAN STEW



HAM AND BEAN STEW image

Categories     Soup/Stew     Bean     Pork

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 Tbsp olive oil
1 lb ham, diced in ½ inch cubes (ask your deli for ham that is not too salty or too sweet and have them slice it in ½ inch slices so you can dice it easily)
½ white or yellow onion, diced
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 large carrot, sliced into coins
4 stalks celery, chopped
1 green pepper, diced
3 cans beans (pinto, cannellini or great northern, and black), thoroughly rinsed
2 cans diced tomatoes
2-3 cups ham or chicken broth
To Taste salt, pepper, dried thyme, oregano, cumin, coriander

Steps:

  • 1 Sauté ham in a large soup pot until it starts to turn golden brown. Add onion and garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent. Add the carrots, celery, and pepper, and sauté until the carrots are beginning to soften. 2 Add the cans of tomatoes with the liquid and bring to a simmer. Add the drained and rinsed cans of beans. Add the ham or chicken broth until the soup is at the right consistency. Season with salt and pepper, dried herbs, and spices and bring to a simmer.

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:

Ham stew is a hearty, comforting, and flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold winter day.
