Green Beans With Ham Hock And New Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Combine ham hocks, onion, garlic, celery, thyme, bay leaf, chile, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and the water in a large pot. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat, and simmer, uncovered, 1 hour 30 minutes.
• Transfer ham hocks to a plate. Discard chile, and add potatoes to pot; simmer until just tender, 10 to 12 minutes.
• When ham hocks are cool enough to handle, pull meat off bones (discard bones), shred into bite-size pieces, and return to pot. Add green beans, and return to a simmer. Cover, and cook until beans are just tender, about 8 minutes. Season with pepper. Serve vegetables and meat with a slotted spoon; reserve broth for another use. If storing leftovers, store in broth.

Steps:

• Halve beans if they are large, place in a slow cooker with water to barely cover, and add onion and ham hocks. Cover, and cook on High until simmering. Reduce heat to Low, and cook for 2 to 3 hours, or until beans are crisp but not done.
• Add potatoes, and cook for another 45 minutes. While potatoes are cooking, remove ham hocks from slow cooker, and remove meat from bones. Chop or shred meat, and return to slow cooker. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, seasoning salt, bouillon, and pepper. Cook until potatoes are done, then adjust seasoning to taste.
• To serve, use a slotted spoon to put beans, potatoes, and ham into a serving dish with a little broth.

Steps:

• Place ham steak, potatoes, green beans, onion, and butter in a large pot with just enough water to cover. Season with salt and pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.

Steps:

• I cook this in a crockpot all day, but may be cooked in a dutch oven on the stove, also.
• Add all the ingredients and cover, cook on low for 8 to 10 hours.
• If cooking on the stove you may need more broth, but the crockpot makes broth as it cooks, so you shouldn't need any more.
• Use your own judgement on the amount of broth.
• Serve with fresh, sliced tomatoes and corn bread for a great Southern meal.

Steps:

• Place ham hock and bacon in large Dutch oven pot or soup pot; cover with water.
• Bring to a rapid boil.
• Turn burner to medium to medium-high and let it come to a medium boil.
• Add the sliced onion.
• Let this cook while you wash and snap your beans (about an hour or more).
• Wash beans, cut off ends and break in half.
• Add beans, salt, sugar, garlic, pepper and parsley to the ham hocks.
• Let it come to a boil, then turn burner to medium, to medium-low.
• Let it slow boil for about an hour or more or less, depending on how well you like your beans cooked.
• About 15-20 minutes before done, add your potatoes.
• Boil until tender.

Steps:

• Place ham hocks or shanks in water enough to cover & let simmer a good 2 hours. Remove ham & set aside to cool. Reserve broth. When cool enough to handle, cut into chunks. In a large heavy stock pot, melt butter on medium high. Add onions and garlic and ham. Cook until onions and garlic are tender and meat has browned a bit. Turn down the heat to medium and add green beans, chicken broth and 3 cans full of the broth from the cooked ham hocks. Just cover the beans with the liquid. If you need a bit more water, add it. Cover and cook beans for about an hour. Add, sugar, salt and pepper and stir well. Add potatoes and cook covered for another 25 to 35 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork tender. Remove lid for the last 10 minutes of cook time. Check and re-season if necessary. Crock pot method: place all in the pot & cook on low all day! Before serving remove the ham & cut into pieces & stir back into the beans & potatoes!
