Ingredients:
2 lb black beans, * see note
12 cup water
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 onion, chopped
1 1/2 tsp cumin seed
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 1/2 lb ham hocks, ** see note
Instructions:
This dish takes about 10 hours to prepare, so plan ahead.
* Dried pinto beans can be used, but the recipe will lose its
authenticity.
** Use about 1-2 pounds of meaty ham hocks.
Pick over beans, wash thoroughly and drain. Place in very large
casserole. Cover with the water; add garlic, cumin, onion, salt, pepper
and ham hocks. Cover tightly and bake at 275 degrees for about 10 hours,
or until beans are tender. Check and stir a few times, keeping beans from
drying out. Skim off fat before serving. Season to taste.
