Ingredients
-
1 pound dry red beans or dry red kidney beans
-
1 meaty smoked pork hock
-
1 medium onion, chopped
-
1 medium green sweet pepper, chopped
-
2 stalks celery, chopped
-
2 bay leaves
-
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
-
4 cloves garlic, minced
-
¼ teaspoon salt
-
5 cups hot cooked brown or white rice
Directions
-
Rinse beans. In a large Dutch oven, combine beans and 6 cups water. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer for 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Cover and let stand for 1 hour. (Or place beans in 6 cups water in Dutch oven. Cover and let soak in a cool place for 6 to 8 hours or overnight.)
-
Drain and rinse beans. Return beans to Dutch oven. Add pork hock, onion, sweet pepper, celery, bay leaves, cayenne pepper, garlic, and 6 cups fresh water. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer about 1-1/2 hours or until beans are tender, stirring occasionally. (Add additional water during cooking, if necessary.)
-
Remove pork hock. When cool enough to handle, cut meat off bone; coarsely chop meat. Discard bone.
-
Return chopped meat to Dutch oven. Return to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 30 to 40 minutes more or until a thick gravy forms, stirring occasionally.
-
Discard bay leaves. Stir in salt. Serve the bean mixture over hot cooked rice.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.
* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
