Ingredients:
- 1 cup chopped roasted red bell pepper ( actually , a combo of red/yellow/orange is good and colorful , too)
- 3 cups
Directions:
- Cut large pieces of fat off the ham hock, separating them into about 1 inch pieces (easier to remove later on).
- In a large heavy pot or dutch oven (I use my large Le Crueset), heat the oil on medium high and then add the ham hock and fat pieces. Sauté for about 5-10 minutes until you’ve rendered some of the ham fat into the pot.
- Add the onion and garlic and sauté until the onion is golden brown.
- Add the chunked pork pieces and brown.
- Add remaining ingredients.
- Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 1 1/2 to 2 hours until soaked beans are cooked to your preference. The last 45 to 60 minutes uncover the pot to allow the sauce to thicken to your preference.
- Remove the large smoked ham fat pieces and discard. Cut meat from ham hock and stir the meat back into the beans, discarding the rest.
- Taste the sauce to see if it's sweet enough to your taste - if not, stir in additional maple syrup until it is.
- Serve with corn, collard greens, cornbread, and your favorite baked or fried chicken!
- Note: if you'd like the taste of the beans a little smokier, you can add Liquid Smoke to taste.
