Title: Pintos
Post by: nepas on April 24, 2015, 12:48:47 PM

Got some pinto beans going today. Thinking smoked meatloaf and pinto burro's :D

(http://i868.photobucket.com/albums/ab242/nepas1/pintos/ptb.jpg)

1 lb dry pinto beans
1 smoked hock
6 cups water
1 tsp kosher salt
1 Tbsp brown sugar
6.5 oz can tomato sauce.



Cover pinto beans with water in a large bowl. Soak beans for 4 hours, changing water every 30 to 45 minutes. Drain.
(you can do the quick soak. Bring beans to a broil for 2 mins. turn off heat, cover and stand for 2 hrs.)

Bring 6 cups water to a boil in a large pot. Add pinto beans, ham hock, and kosher salt to the pot. Pour in more water if needed to cover ingredients by at least 1 inch.

Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until beans are just tender, 2 to 3 hours.

Remove ham hock from beans, cut meat from the bone, chop the ham, and return to pot.

Stir tomato sauce and brown sugar into the beans. Continue to simmer until beans are tender and flavors are blended, about 1 more hour.

Feel free to add whatever you like, salt to taste after cooking.
