Ingredients
- 1 lb small dried pink beans or 1 lb cranberry beans
- 2 smoked ham hocks
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 14 lb smoked bacon, diced
- 1 large yellow sweet onion, chopped
- 6 garlic cloves, minced
- 6 ounces tomato paste
- 12 teaspoon ground cumin
- 14 teaspoon allspice
- salt & freshly ground black pepper
Method
- Rinse beans in cold water and soak overnight according to package directions (this is what prevents the gas sometimes associated with beans).
- Next day, drain beans and place in large stockpot or Dutch oven, covering with cold water; add tomato paste, spices, and ham hocks and cook, on low heat.
- Meanwhile, in a skillet, add oil, bacon, onions, and garlic and cook until slightly browned; add to beans.
- Cook for 4 hours, stirring occasionally (add water as needed to keep beans covered).
