Smokey Green Beans Recipes

Steps:

• Place the ham hocks in a large pot, and add enough water just to cover, then bring the water to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 1/2 hours, skimming any scum that rises to the surface, until the ham hocks are very tender and the meat is falling away from the bone. Add the green beans, sugar, and salt to the pot and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, for another 25 minutes. Add the potatoes and Smash Seasoning to the pot, and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes more.
• Remove the ham hocks from the pot. Discard the leathery skin (it should pull off easily), and, using a fork, pull the meat from the bone. Coarsely chop the meat, and add it back to the pot. Taste for seasonings, and then serve with hot sauce, if desired.

Steps:

• Rinse the rice in cold running water until it runs clear. Bring a large pan of water to the boil, cook the rice for 20-25 mins, then drain.
• Place a wide, lidded pan over a medium heat with 2 tbsp oil. Add the greens, salt and pepper and cook, with the lid on, stirring frequently, until the greens are lightly steamed and wilted, about 4-5 mins. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, then add the butter beans and cook, stirring, until heated through. Add the remaining oil, then the cumin seeds and smoked paprika. Stir until evenly combined and serve over the cooked rice with a dollop of yogurt, if you like.
