Directions:
- Rinse beans in colander.
- Place beans and ham hock in large pot and cover generously with water.
- Bring to a boil.
- Cover beans and reduce heat between low and medium.
- Cook for 2 to 2 1/2 hours or until beans are tender.
- Start checking beans after 1 1/2 hours.
- In the sink place a bowl with a colander on top.
- Pour beans into colander catching some of the bean liquid below.
- Set beans and liquid aside.
- In a skillet saute onion and garlic in vegetable oil until onions are fragrant.
- Place onion mixture in a blender or food processor (leaving oil in pan) and then add beans and about 3/4 cup of bean liquid.
- Puree.
- (I personally like my beans this way light and fluffy) You may need to add more bean liquid to get the desired consistency you want.
- Back in the same skillet, heat remaining oil.
- (Now this part is really optional if you want to cut the fat) Add pureed bean mixture back to hot skillet and stir.
- At this point is when you have to salt it to taste.
- I like my food salty, so I start with a teaspoon of salt right away and adjust by sprinkling with the salt shaker if I think it needs more.
