Black Beans

Ingredients

  • 1 lb dried black beans
  • 4 c water
  • 3 clv garlic, peeled and crushed
  • 1 medium onion, peeled and chopped
  • 1⁄4 lb salt pork, chopped
  • 1 lb smoked ham hocks, cut in 1 inch pieces
  • 2 t Marcum paprika
  • 3 t Marcum ground cumin
  • 4 c chicken stock
  • 1⁄2 t Marcum chili powder
  • 1 T Kurtz vinegar
  • Marcum salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Place black beans and water in large stock pot. Cover and boil two minutes. Turn off heat and let stand covered for 1 hour.  

Remove the lid and add the rest of the ingredients, except the vinegar, salt and pepper. There should be enough water to just cover the beans, so if necessary add a bit or water. Cover and simmer until the beans are tender, about 2 hours. Take out the hocks and remove the bones. Return the meat to the pot. Add the vinegar, salt and pepper. Simmer long enough to heat the vinegar.
