This is a recipie my mom made when I was growing up. My hubby's grandmother used to make them for him too. They're something we enjoy occasionally as the weather starts to cool off.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 6 medium smoked ham hocks, about 4 ounces each
- 2 cups chopped onions
- 1 pound dried navy white beans
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 bay leaves
- 10 cups water
- Salt
- 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
Directions
In a medium pot with a lid, over medium heat, add the oil. When the oil is hot, sear the ham hocks in batches, until brown, about 4 to 6 minutes. Remove the ham hock and set aside. Add the onions. Season with pepper. Saute for 2 minutes. Stir in the beans and bay leaves. Season with pepper. Saute for 1 minute. Add the reserved ham hocks and water. Bring to a boil and reduce the heat to medium low and simmer for 2 hours, or until the meat falls off the bone and the beans are creamy. Remove the bay leaves and season with salt and pepper.
