Ingredients
-
1 pound dry pinto beans
-
1 large, meaty ham hock
-
1 large onion, chopped
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
8 cups water
-
1 teaspoon chili powder
-
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
-
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste
Directions
-
Combine beans, ham hock, onion, and garlic in a large stockpot. Pour in water, then season with chili powder, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, and cook for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat, cover, and let stand for 1 hour.
-
After 1 hour, return the pot to the stovetop and return to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until flavors have blended and broth has thickened, at least 3 hours, or up to 6 hours.
-
During the last 15 minutes of simmering, transfer ham hock to a cutting board. Let sit until cool enough to handle, 5 to 10 minutes, then pull meat from the bone. Return meat to the stockpot and discard the bone. Adjust seasonings to taste.
