Shann wanted to cook for us, specifically her super easy, fairly fast black bean and ham hock soup. We went to the store for dried black beans and ham hocks, surprised to find that the only dry black beans were in the international foods and the ham hocks only came in smoked.
Shan's Black Bean and Ham Hock Soup
Large stock pot
2 bags black beans
2 ham hocks, depending on size and how much meat, about a pound (or shanks)
garlic powder, to taste
Boil beans, garlic and ham hock (ham may be frozen does not need to be fresh/thawed) for 2 hours. When meat cooks thoroughly, carve meat from the bone and remove fat. Meat gets returned to pot. Get rid of bone (perfect for dogs).
Also delicious with dumplings.
