ULTIMATE GREAT NORTHERN BEANS



Ultimate Great Northern Beans image

I usually cook these outdoors, suspending a cast iron pot over a campfire but honestly, they taste about the same on the stovetop. And the flavor is just great. If you've yet to adopt a cooked beans recipe, this might be the one you're looking for. It's right out of Appalachia.

Time 11h

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

16 ounces great northern beans
30 ounces chicken broth (canned)
15 ounces diced tomatoes with green chilies (ro-tel)
1 large white onion, chopped
1 tablespoon cooking oil
6 ounces smoked pork pork jowl, cut into chunks
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
48 ounces water

Steps:

  • Soak the beans in cold water overnight. Make sure that there is twice as much water as beans because they will swell up.
  • In a large cooking pot, pour in the cooking oil and toss in the smoked jowl pieces. Stir and allow them to sizzle over medium heat for 5 or 6 minutes. After they brown a bit, deglaze the pot with about 4 ounces of the chicken broth.
  • Add the onion and allow to simmer until the onion is tender, stirring often.
  • Rinse the beans in fresh water a final time and, after draining, add them, plus all the remaining ingredients into the pot. This should include the 48 ounces of water listed in the ingredients.
  • Boil, covered, over low heat until beans are tender, stirring occasionally (about 2-3 hours).
  • Serve with cornbread, fried potatoes, eggs and biscuits.
  • If you wish, you can use chunks of ham or bacon instead of pork jowl.

Tips:

  • Soak the Beans: Soaking the beans overnight or for at least 8 hours helps reduce cooking time and makes them more digestible.
  • Use a Pressure Cooker: If you're short on time, use a pressure cooker to cook the beans. It can significantly reduce the cooking time.
  • Add Flavorful Ingredients: Don't just boil the beans in plain water. Add aromatic vegetables like onions, garlic, carrots, and celery to enhance the flavor.
  • Use Good Quality Spices: Freshly ground spices pack more flavor than pre-ground ones. Use a variety of spices like cumin, coriander, paprika, and chili powder to create a flavorful dish.
  • Don't Overcook the Beans: Overcooked beans can become mushy and lose their texture. Cook them until they are tender but still hold their shape.

Conclusion:

These savory and spicy northern beans are a quick, easy, and flavorful dish that can be enjoyed as a main course or a side dish. With the right ingredients and techniques, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that is packed with protein and fiber.
