Ham String Beans Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, saute the ham, onion and garlic in butter until onion is tender. Add the next seven ingredients; cover and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes. Add peas and cook until heated through, about 5 minutes longer. Stir in parsley.

Steps:

• 1. So easy! Ready? Wash and cut the potatoes (keep skin on or off, your preference) in quarters and put in bottom of crockpot. You may want to check on the potatoes about half-way through to ensure they are not getting too cooked & mushy. Putting them @ the bottom at first helps get all the ham juice & yummy flavors dripping on them, though. :)
• 2. Put ham in crockpot (NEVER used a canned ham or spiral-sliced ham for this recipe -- you want the smoky, bone in kinda ham). You don't need to cut it up, but may want to cut in half for flavors to mesh.
• 3. Sprinkle with lotsa fresh ground black pepper. Add about 3 cups water. Then, add about half cup of apple cider vinegar to a bit more water & dump that over top. Cut a peeled, large onion in half & put on top. (You also choose to do sliced onion in it, if you want more flavor.)
• 4. Put green beans on top (if using frozen green beans, let the dish cook for about 3 hours before you add them) & add some more black pepper & a sprinkle some apple cider vinegar over (pouring the vinegar in its cap or a separate cup helps to ensure you don't get too much in. :) ) Cook on low setting in crockpot for about 7-10 hours, depending on what kind of ham you are using.
• 5. You can add more water if you want, or cut the ham & veggies into smaller pieces for more of a soup texture. It is DELICIOUS! Most people I know add white vinegar @ the end of the preparation, but I found apple cider vinegar cooked w/ it slowly, ground pepper, and an onion really set off the flavors while keeping it authentic to PA Dutch Country.

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:

• Put ham into a Dutch oven. Arrange potato halves, green beans, and onion slices around the ham. Pour enough water into the pot to cover the vegetables completely.
• Place a cover on the pot and bring the water to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer mixture until potatoes are completely soft, about 55 minutes.
• Remove ham to a cutting board to slice to desired thickness; serve with vegetables.

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:

• 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:

• In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ham slice. Arrange potatoes over ham; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Top with beans and onion. Combine soup and water; pour over all. , Cook for 2 minutes. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 45-50 minutes or until potatoes are tender.

Steps:

• Cube the potatoes, peeling first if desired.
• String the beans and break into 2 inch pieces.
• Coarsely chop the onion.
• Place ham, potatoes, beans, black pepper, and onions into a wide, shallow pot or dutch oven.
• Add enough water to come within a couple inches of the top of the food.
• Bring the pot to a boil then simmer gently for 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
• This can be drippy so I suggest serving it in bowls or soup plates.
• Cornbread makes a good accompaniment if you want to sop up the juices.
