Directions:
- Cook sausage with 1/2 cup water in large heavy bottomed pot that the beans will be cooked in, allow water to dissipate and sausage to brown until you have a good fond going on in the pan. Once you have a good caramelized pan, remove the sausage allow to cool and fridge them.
- Drain grease and replace with tablespoon of a light flavored oil and saute/brown your onion - salt, add celery - salt, all spices and saute till translucent - avoid burning your fond! Add stock to deglaze pan.
- Add ham hocks (note: These tend to shed bone shards, avoid stirring once these are in the mix. Remove them after cooking is complete and pull the meat off the bone on a separate plate. Add the meat back into the mix).
- Add beans.
- Add enough water to just cover beans/ham hocks bring the party to a boil then reduce heat and cook until beans are soft. I used a pressure cooker, the whole meal was done in 30 minutes - with that said, only allow pressure to get it's initial burst of steam then bring down the heat to a low simmer - beans can foam up and clog your cooker - always monitor this process.).
- While awaiting the beans to soften, prep lime and the lime rind, cut sausage into bite size chunks - taste sausage for heat and adjust to your preference. consider some cayenne to the mix. The Chipotle pepper does provide a subtle heat that will make your forhead sweat but no significant affect to the tongue.
- Once the beans are cooked, add remaining ingredients and simmer another 10 minutes. I like my beans a bit soupy so I choose not to thicken it. To help thicken the dish, food process 1/3 of the beans into a paste then reincorperate them.
- Serve over rice, perhaps corn bread or fried plantains.
- Garnish
- Chopped red bell pepper & Scallions.
