How to cook deliciously - Southern Ham and Brown Beans
1. Stage
Combine beans, ham hock, onion, and garlic in a large stockpot. Pour in water, then season with chili powder, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, and cook for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat, cover, and let stand for 1 hour.
2. Stage
After 1 hour, return the pot to the stovetop and return to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until flavors have blended and broth has thickened, at least 3 hours, or up to 6 hours.
3. Stage
During the last 15 minutes of simmering, transfer ham hock to a cutting board. Let sit until cool enough to handle, 5 to 10 minutes, then pull meat from the bone. Return meat to the stockpot and discard the bone. Adjust seasonings to taste.
