Ingredients

1 ham hock, about 1/2-pound
2 quarts water
1/2 teaspoon House Seasoning , recipe follows
1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt
1 (16-ounce) package frozen green butter beans or use fresh, if desired
2 tablespoons butter, plus 4 tablespoons
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce, or 1 small hot pepper
6 slices bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 (16-ounce) package frozen shoe-peg corn (use fresh if you can get it)
2 cups sliced okra
1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
1 teaspoon chicken base
4 fresh tomatoes, cut into chunks

Directions

Put ham hock in a stockpot and add the water. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook for 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Add House Seasoning and seasoned salt to water as hock simmers. Add more water as needed (up to 2 more cups as the meat cooks). Add the butter beans, 2 tablespoons butter, and hot sauce and return the liquid to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover, and cook over low heat for 20 minutes, or until the beans are done. Remove butter beans and reserve liquid. In a skillet, saute bacon until crisp. Add corn, okra, and a small amount of liquid from the butter beans and simmer for about 10 minutes. Add parsley and chicken base; cover and simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add fresh tomatoes and remaining 4 tablespoons butter at the last minute. Simmer until tomatoes are heated through.

House Seasoning:

1 cup salt

1/4 cup black pepper

1/4 cup garlic powder

Mix ingredients together and store in an airtight container for up to 6 months.

OH YEAH
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I really enjoyed this side dish, not only was it good with dinner. I mixed it with some left over pork tenderloin added a... little italin dressing and ate it cold for lunch the next day. Very tasty. The only thing I didn't enjoy was the slimy texture of the okra. Next time I think i'll substitute green beans.Read more

Almost There
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

The ingredients are a superb blend of southern comforts. However, at the end of the instructions for the receipe, you failed... to mention when to merge the butter beans with the corn, bacon, okra and tomato mixutre. I feel I was sucessful in my dission to blend the butter beans at the end with the tomatos. To ad an extra topper, i added 1/4 teaspon finely chopped jalepeno pepper! Bon Apetite!!Read more
