Ham Hocks and Beans image

Comfort food at its best. Many people will tell you to soak your beans first (however, I have been told that you should soak dry beans when using a pressure cooker. Please follow manufactorers instructions in this case). I never do. I just wash them and cook them as below. For a really hearty winter meal, serve these with a loaf of hot fresh bread or a pan of corn bread and a pan of old fashioned crisp fried potatoes. These may also be made in the pressure cooker and crockpot.

Time 4h10m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 bag dry beans (my favorite is a 15 bean mix)
4 -6 ham hocks
1 large onion, chopped
6 cloves garlic, minced (more if desired)
1 large bay leaf
1 tablespoon oregano
1 teaspoon pepper
salt

Steps:

  • Wash beans and remove all gravel and such.
  • Place beans, ham hocks, onions and garlic in a large dutch oven filled with water.
  • Add spices.
  • Bring to boil.
  • Simmer on med-low heat for 4 to 5 hours, adding more water as needed.
  • Remove hamhocks when they are tender and falling apart; allow to cool so they can be handled.
  • Remove meat from ham hocks (discarding fat and bones) and return to the soup.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The beans are always cooked perfectly and the ham hocks are so tender. I usually add a little bit of extra seasoning to taste, but other than that, I follow the recipe exactly.
