How Do You Make Ham Hock Beans?
To make ham hock beans, first soak dried beans overnight or use canned beans. In a large pot, sauté diced onions, celery, and carrots until soft. Add the soaked or canned beans, chicken broth, diced ham hock, and spices such as thyme, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and let simmer for 2-3 hours or until the ham hock is tender and the beans are cooked through. Serve hot with crusty bread or rice.
