Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 8 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

Directions

In a medium Dutch oven 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 of the bone and the beans are creamy. Remove the bay leaves and season with salt and pepper.

    Amazing in it's simplicity

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    The hardest part about this recipe is chopping the onion. If you can manage that, and have mastered turning on your stove,... you are good to go with this gem. I had some left over ham from the holidays and decided I had better use it up (leftover whole ham, no ham hock required), so I browned as directed and 2 hours later my wife and I were simply amazed with the flavor this dish produces. I can see where going half and half with chicken stock & water would "kick it up a notch". I won't even bother looking for another ham & beans recipe. This is easily the best I've had, and is sure to become a winter staple at our house.Read more

    I used a whole leftover ham hock and found I needed more beans b/c there was so much ham. Wonderful and even better the next... day!Read more

    good recipe

    Rated: 4 stars out of 5
    This dish was easy to prepare. I used left over ham from a previous evening. I added the gelatin from the ham with the... water for extra flavor and put the bone in while cooking the beans. Good flavor and it was a hit.Read more
