-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 c Dried black beans
1 c Dried black-eyed peas
1 sm Ham hock
3 c Chicken stock, water, or
- low-sodium chicken broth
Salt -- as desired
These are good either by themselves or as an addition to chili base.
The night before, cover beans and peas with water and let stand to
soften. Preheat oven to 275°F. Combine beans, ham hock, stock or
water, and desired salt in a heavy 2 qt ovenproof pot, over medium
heat. Cover, bring to a boil and place in the oven. Check the beans
every 30 minutes and add 1/2 cup more stock each time if all the
liquid has been absorbed. Cook for 1-1/2 hours or until beans are
soft.
