Rancho Beans
Ingredients List
- 1 lb Pinto or Pink Beans
- 1 Ham Hock
- 1 Onion; chopped
- 2 Cloves Garlic; minced
- 3 ts Pure Chile Powder
- Salt
- Black Pepper
Directions
Pick over beans for debris; rinse well and drain. Place in a 4 quart pot
and add water to cover. Bring to a boil, simmer 3 minutes. Remove from
heat, cover, and let soak for at least 4 hours.
Pour off water. Add 5 cups fresh water, or just enough to cover beans.
Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to maintain a gentle bubbling. Add ham
bone, onion and garlic. Partially cover (a whisper of steam should escape.)
Cook 2 1/2 to 3 hours, or until beans are not sticking; give them a stir.
Keep a kettle with hot water on stove if cooking liquid drops below the
level of the beans, add no more than 1/2 cup water.
When beans are tender, add chile powder, salt and pepper. Simmer 30 minutes
longer. Scoop out 2 cups beans with a little cooking liquid. Roughly puree
in blender on low speed. Stir puree back into beans and cook for a few
minutes, stirring, until beans have thickened.
