Ingredients
- 3 cans red beans
- 1 smoked ham hock (1/2 to 3/4 pound) (or substitute with 1/4 teaspoon liquid smoke)
- 1 1/4 cups water
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons lard
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 4 cups cooked long grain rice for serving
Instructions
- Pour 2 cans of beans into a 2-quart saucepan along with the ham hock and water.
- Simmer on medium heat for an hour, until the meat starts to loosen from the bone.
- Remove from the heat and cool until the ham hock is cool enough to handle.
- Remove the meat from the bone, and place the meat, beans, and liquid from the pot in a food processor.
- Add the onion powder, garlic salt, red pepper flakes, salt, and lard.
- Process for only 4 seconds. The beans should be chopped and the liquid thick.
- Drain the remaining can of beans and add it to the processor.
- Process for just a second or two; you want these beans to remain almost whole.
- Pour everything back into the pan and cook slowly on low heat, stirring often, until you’re ready to serve.
- Serve over rice.
Notes
- 🫘 Bean Basics: Never let beans reach a full boil - gentle simmer maintains texture and prevents mushiness.
- 🍖 Ham Hock Help: Choose hocks weighing 1/2 pound or more for optimal flavor infusion.
- 🍚 Rice Right: Skip instant rice - long-grain traditional rice provides the authentic texture.
