Southwestern Style Pinto Beans Recipe
Recipe Ingredients
2 lb dry pinto beans -- soaked
1 overnight
1 large ham hocks
3 jalepeno peppers -- to
1 taste
1 qt tomatoes, canned
5 garlic cloves -- to taste
2 medium onions -- finely chopped
1 tbsp salt -- to taste
2 tbsp chili powder
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp summer savory
2 tbsp sugar
1 stalk celery
Recipe Preparation
Soak the pinto beans in water overnight, or about 6-8 hours. Drain the
water and rinse the beans well.
Simmer the ham hock for about 2 hours in enough water to cover; about
2 quarts. (You could also use a pound of side pork or slab bacon cut
into 1 inch chunks.) Remove the meat from the hock and return it to
the cooking pot. Add the pre-soaked and rinsed beans to the pot,
along with the rest of the ingredients. Add enough water or tomato
juice to bring the level to about 4 1/2 quarts total volume. Cover
and simmer for about 4 hours, or longer if you have a slow cooker.
Watch the liquid level while cooking so the beans don't get too dry.
Adjust the hot peppers to suit your taste.
