My family loves New Orleans-style cooking, so I make this authentic dish often. Being a busy workingwoman, I appreciate how simple it is. And its smoky ham flavor is scrumptious. âCelinda Dahlgren, Napa CA Ingredients:
1 cup dried red beans |
7 cups water, divided |
2 smoked ham hocks |
1 medium onion, chopped |
1-1/2 teaspoons minced garlic |
1 teaspoon ground cumin |
1 medium tomato, chopped |
1 medium green pepper, chopped |
1 teaspoon salt |
4 cups hot cooked rice |
Directions:
1. Sort beans and rinse in cold water. Place beans in a 3-qt. slow cooker. Add 4 cups water; cover and let stand overnight.
2. Drain and rinse beans, discarding liquid. Return beans to slow cooker; add the ham hocks, onion, garlic, cumin and remaining water. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or until beans are tender.
3. Remove ham hocks; cool slightly. Remove meat from bones. Finely chop meat and return to slow cooker; discard bones. Stir in the tomato, pepper and salt; cover and cook on high for 30 minutes or until pepper is tender. Serve with rice. Yield: 6 servings.
